Using an exact solution for transient state population of a three-stage absorbing Markov chain the problem of modeling the bimodal behavior of three window materials represented as some self-repairing optical systems prone to brittle failure is considered quantitatively. It is shown that simulated maximum failure probability density distributions can well describe the experimental data of biaxial tests on OFG, CVD-ZnSe and a-plane sapphire ceramics. The conclusion is made that the competitive advantage of these materials grows in proportion to their distribution widths.
