Disclosed is a composition that includes a photo-curable base composition that contains one or more acrylate-containing compounds; a photoinitiator that activates polymerization of the photo-curable base composition upon exposure to light of a suitable wavelength; and a photo-acid generating compound that liberates an acid group following exposure to the light of the suitable wavelength. Optical fibers that include the cured product of this composition demonstrate enhanced fatigue resistance, extending lifetime in transient, very small bend applications. Optical fiber ribbons that contain these optical fibers are also disclosed. |
