A flexible conduit constructed of overlapping layers of sealing and strengthening materials designed to resist tensile, compressive, and axial forces is employed as a submerged flow line carrying pressurized fluid. Sealing material layers disposed radially on either side of the strengthening layers isolate the strengthening layers from the liquids that contact the internal and external conduit walls. The innermost seal layer is positioned within a burst layer that protects the external strengthening layers from pressure-induced damage. The annular area between the strengthening layers is continuously vented to the atmosphere to prevent pressure damage to the strengthening layers caused by gases leaking or permeating into the annular area through the seal layers. End connectors join sections of the conduit together and connect the vents of the sections to each other to form a continuous vent passage that vents the annulus gas at the water surface.

Laser modules that are operated intermittently are prone to stop operating after only a few thousand cycles or less. The laser modules sometimes experience a significant increase in operating temperature before they stop operating and, in some cases, manifest an opening of the electrical circuit that connects the laser diodes in the stack of laser subassemblies. In extreme cases, the laser module disintegrates into component subassemblies. These problems arise from structural failures in affixing agents like solder that are used to affix component parts to each other. The structural failures are caused by cyclical thermal expansion and contraction of component parts that exceed the elastic limit of the solder. Resistance to global plastic deformation (creep) and to local plastic deformation (fatigue) is improved by selecting materials to reduce mechanical strain and increase resistance to creep and fatigue, by altering the structural design of the laser module to reduce mechanical strain induced into the affixing agents, and by altering operational practices to reduce the range of temperatures imposed on laser module components. One design method improves resistance to creep and fatigue by controlling the thickness of the affixing agents used to affix component parts to each other.
