Abstract
A method is presented for analyzing laboratory measurements of tensile strength and fatigue failure rates of glass fibers. This method provides the physical basis for extrapolating laboratory data to the multikilometer lengths and long lifetimes which will be characteristic of field use of optical fibers in telecommunication systems.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
