Publikováno v: Optical Technologies for Arming, Safing, Fuzing, and Firing IV.

Fiber optic cables are widely used in modern systems that must provide stable operation during exposure to changing environmental conditions. For example, a fiber optic cable on a satellite may have to reliably function over a temperature range of -5
