You have to further clarify your question - it's too broad.
Signal strength can be increased during each of these phases of the OF's life:
* either during the design phase,
* during manufacturing using special manufacturing techniques, and
* during final installation and usage.
For each of these, the answer is very complex.
Also say if you are looking for a general (lay person's) explanation or a detailed (optics, physics) explanation.

What is different between optical fiber signal and electrical signal?
A fiber optical signal is based on the transfer of photons, while an electrical signal is based on the transfer of electrons.
What type of waves carry optical fibre signals?
Light waves carry optical fiber signals. These waves are typically in the infrared range and are able to travel long distances through the fiber without losing signal strength.
What optical fiber used for?
Long Distance signal transmission!
What is meant by atenuation in fiber optics?
Attenuation in fiber means 'loss of optical power' suffered by the optical signal in fiber itself.
Can you propagate optical signal over electrical network?
only over fiber
How a scratch outside of an optical fiber might cause problems?
A scratch on the outside of an optical fiber can lead to light leakage or signal loss, affecting the transmission quality of data through the fiber. The scratch can disrupt the smooth and uniform flow of light within the fiber, causing scattering and potential signal attenuation. In severe cases, the scratch may weaken the structural integrity of the fiber, making it more susceptible to breakage.
Is optical fiber ihollow or not?
The main part of an optical fiber is a glass fiber (NOT hollow) within another glass fiber of another type of glass. Both types of glass have a different index of refraction; the signal travels through the inner glass fiber.
What happens to light rays as they travel along an optical fiber?
Light rays traveling along an optical fiber undergo total internal reflection at the core-cladding interface, which helps contain the light within the core. This allows the light to travel long distances without significant loss of signal strength.
In optical fiber propagation loss is increases or decreases with increase in length of the fiber cable?
Increases with length and connections.
Does the gauge of fiber optical audio cable affect the audio quality?
No. As long as the signal is getting through, the gauge of the optical connection makes no difference.
What is meant by attenuation in optical fiber?
When an optical signal of a given wavelength travels in the fiber it looses power. The amount of loss of power per Km length of fiber is called its attenuation. A=10*LOG10(POUT/PIN) dB/Km Where POuT is optical power after 1 Km PIN is th epower launched in the Fiber.
What is meant by attenuation in Optical Fiber Communication?
When an optical signal of a given wavelength travels in the fiber it looses power. The amount of loss of power per Km length of fiber is called its attenuation. A=10*LOG10(POUT/PIN) dB/Km Where POuT is optical power after 1 Km PIN is th epower launched in the Fiber.
