AbstractThe strength degradation behavior of fused silica optical fiber is well known to be sensitive to the temperature and an apparent activation energy can be determined. In addition, it has been observed that the activation energy also depends on the applied stress and the nature of the environment. However, no consistent model for this behavior has emerged. We propose a chemical kinetics model which accounts for the temperature dependence of the dissociation of water which predicts that degradation should be faster in pH 7 buffer than in pure water. Static fatigue of fused silica fibers in both water and pH 7 buffer solution has been carefully studied as a function of temperature to test the model. The apparent activation energies are stress dependent, and, while the dependency is not clear, different environments give different dependencies. These observations support the proposed model.

Optical technologies for measuring electrical quantities attract great attention due to their unique properties and significant advantages over other technologies used in high-voltage electric power industry: the use of optical fibers ensures high stability of measuring equipment to electromagnetic interference and galvanic isolation of high-voltage sensors; external electromagnetic fields do not influence the data transmitted from optical sensors via fiber-optic communication lines; problems associated with ground loops are eliminated, there are no side electromagnetic radiation and crosstalk between the channels. The structure and operation principle of a quasi-distributed fiber-optic high-voltage monitoring system is presented. The sensitive element is a combination of a piezo-ceramic tube with an optical fiber wound around it. The device uses reverse transverse piezoelectric effect. The measurement principle is based on recording the change in the recirculation frequency under the applied voltage influence. When the measuring sections are arranged in ascending order of the measured effective voltages relative to the receiving-transmitting unit, a relative resolution of 0,3–0,45 % is achieved for the PZT-5H and 0,8–1,2 % for the PZT-4 in the voltage range 20–150 kV.
