Abstract

This paper describes four key measurements of critical coating performance attributes which can affect coated optical fiber performance. The four measurement methods to be described are: 1) primary coating adhesion, 2) coating toughness, 3) primary coating equilibrium modulus, and 4) primary coating glass transition temperature.
