摘要：

Silica optical fibers drawn from a common preform and coated with specialty coatings were exposed to zero-stress aging in various aqueous environments for approximately ten months. The strength of the fiber samples was tracked with two-point bend testing. The onset of an aging "knee" was observed for some fiber samples while other coatings offered enhanced protection from the effects of moisture-induced strength degradation.
