Abstract

An amorphous carbon coating has been developed to improve the resistance of silica optical fibers to static fatigue and hydrogen permeation. The carbon coated optical fibers are characterized by electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy. A Lorentzian lineshape is observed, centered at the g value of 2.002. Intensity measurements as a function of temperature suggest that localized spin centers contribute to the spin resonance. It is shown that atmospheric control of the carbonaceous environment results in the removal of these EPR active sites.
