ABSTRACT:
A method for reducing the hydrogen sensitivity of an optical fiber is disclosed. The method includes a deuterium treatment step of exposing an optical fiber to a gas mixture including a deuterium, so that the optical fiber makes a contact with the deuterium, and a degassing step of degassing the optical fiber treated with the deuterium under a negative pressure condition.
