Abstract

This paper reviews recent advancements in the area of mechanical reliability of optical fiber, building upon previously published reviews in this area.^1-5 Of particular significance is progress in the area of establishing reliability programs. This review considers efforts made to reduce early failures and to establish reliability programs with an emphasis on functional reliability.
