Zusammenfassung:Methods of obtaining or maintaining optical transference into deaerated liquid in contact with a light transference medium are disclosed. The methods comprise contacting a liquid chemical agent to a wetted surface of a light transference medium. The liquid chemical agent is selected from an acid, a chelant, a reducing agent, or combinations thereof, for a period of time and at a concentration sufficient to clean the wetted surface of the light transference medium. The methods may further comprise applying ultrasonic energy at a wavelength (λ) into deaerated liquid in contact with a light transference medium.
