Hydroxyl ion absorption
Hydroxyl ion absorption is the absorption in optical fibres of electromagnetic waves, including the near-infrared, due to the presence of trapped hydroxyl ions remaining from water as a contaminant.
The hydroxyl (OH-) ion can penetrate glass during or after product fabrication, resulting in significant attenuation of discrete optical wavelengths, e.g. , centred at 1.383 μm, used for communications via optical fibres.
