ABSTRACT:
A silica glass optical fiber is subjected to an external strain which causes vitreous matrix atoms to stabilize in a lower energy condition. In this way inhomogeneity domain sizes and as a consequence the attenuation due to Rayleigh scattering, depending on such inhomogeneity, are reduced.
