Abstract

A number of spectroscopic techniques make use of ultra violet (UV) absorbance and luminescence measurements to characterize materials, for use in medical/pharmaceutical applications, for forensic and sensor applications, and for remote detection or monitoring, especially for hazardous environments. Furthermore, many high-power applications in medicine and industry are looking forward to using UV wavelengths. The UV fiber’s mechanical reliability has become one of the most crucial performances with longer length fiber being used. This paper reviews the researched evolvement of the normal single mode fiber’s mechanical reliability. Based on the standard measure method of the normal fiber, the mechanical reliability of the UV fiber has been researched. The measurement results show the difference of mechanical reliability between the different doping composition UV fibers.
