NIST researchers then tested the fibers by
transmitting ultraviolet laser light through them.

Fibers treated this way can
transmit stable, high - power
ultraviolet laser light for long periods of time, resisting the damage usually caused by UV light.
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have put this hydrogen «cure» to practical use, making optical fibers that
transmit stable, high - power
ultraviolet laser light for hundreds of hours.
When used at NIST to
transmit laser light to trap ions (electrically charged atoms), the fibers reduce stray light and fluctuations in
laser beam pointing and make it possible to transfer
ultraviolet light between separate optical tables, the paper notes.
