Hydroxyl ion absorptionis theabsorptioninoptical fibersofelectromagnetic radiation,including the near-infrared,due to the presence of trappedhydroxylionsremaining from water as a contaminant.[1]
The hydroxyl (OH−) ion can penetrateglassduring or after product fabrication, resulting in significantattenuationof discrete optical wavelengths,e.g.,centred at 1.383 μm, used forcommunicationsvia optical fibres.[2]
