It seems that a major concern in the fabrication of optical fibers is hydroxyl diffusion into the fibers. I understand that a high hydroxyl concentration can lead to much higher attenuation. I don't know why though.
Can someone please explain to me why the hydroxyl concentration affects optical signal attenuation so dramatically?
