An optical fiber having resistance to hydrogen-induced attenuation includes a core and cladding including silica. At least one of the core and the cladding includes a dopant capable of not increasing reactivity of the silica with hydrogen. An optical fiber assembly includes a core and cladding including silica. At least one of the core and the cladding includes a dopant capable of changing the refractive index of the fiber core or cladding while not increasing reactivity of the fiber with hydrogen. The optical fiber in some examples further includes a hermetic layer disposed about the cladding. Some implementations include a"getter" layer, which may be an outside part of the fiber cladding been inside the hermetic coating. The "getter" layer includes silica and a dopant increasing reactivity of the layer with hydrogen. The optical fiber assembly optionally includes a sheath disposed about the cladding.

L'invention porte sur une fibre optique présentant une résistance à l'atténuation induite par l'hydrogène, qui comprend une âme et une gaine comprenant de la silice. Au moins l'une de l'âme et de la gaine comprend un dopant capable de ne pas augmenter la réactivité de la silice avec l'hydrogène. Un ensemble fibre optique comprend une âme et une gaine comprenant de la silice. Au moins l'une de l'âme et de la gaine comprend un dopant capable de changer l'indice de réfraction de l'âme ou de la gaine de la fibre tout en n'augmentant pas la réactivité de la fibre avec l'hydrogène. La fibre optique, dans certains exemples, comprend également une couche hermétique enveloppant la gaine. Certains modes de réalisation comprennent une couche = getter =, qui peut être une partie externe de la gaine de fibre qui est à l'intérieur du revêtement hermétique. La couche = getter = comprend de la silice et un dopant augmentant la réactivité de la couche avec l'hydrogène. L'ensemble fibre optique comprend facultativement une enveloppe autour de la gaine.
