โฆ Synopsis
Optical fibers installed in optoelectronic devices are frequently exposed to heat during assembly and inspection. In order to examine the effect of heating the fibers, the thermomechanical performance of a commercial fiber jacketed with a UV-cured acrylate was measured and partial delamination of the jacket materials between the primary and secondary coats was found after the test. Further, it is possible that delamination may occur even at temperatures less than the 80ะC required for burn-in of the devices. แฎ 2000 Academic Press g jackets changed depending on the history of the fibers such as fabrication lot and 192

The effects of the initial frequency chirp on soliton-effect pulse compression are numerically analyzed. It is shown that the effects of the initial frequency chirp on the pulse quality factor cannot be neglected. The optical fiber loss plays an important role in the quality of the compressed optica
