Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) The cracks on an optical fiber surface can grow with time and eventually lead to fiber breakage. We have investigated brittle and fatigue fracture characteristics of single-mode fibers caused by various cracks. We have also developed a new method and tool for inspecting the cracks on optical fibers.
