Abstract
Basic components and devices for optical fiber sensor and telecommunication networks should exhibit survival times of 20 to 40 years. Reliability issues like absorption changes of optical fibers, chemical, mechanical, and thermal stability of fibers and components may lead to failures during utilization.
