We studied the defects at the origins of the permanent radiation-induced attenuation in four g-rays irradiated single-mode germanosilicate optical fibers (~1 MeV; 1.2 kGy; 0.3 Gy/s) in the spectral range 400 - 1700 nm. We determined the wavelength dependence of the following cladding codopant influences: germanium (0.3 %), phosphorus (0.3 %), fluorine (0.3 %) on the germanosilicate (13 %) fiber radiation responses. We identified some of the different color centers produced by g-rays and we evaluated their localization in the fiber cross-section through the determination of the radial distribution of the radiation-induced absorption at 633 nm. We also evidenced the strong interactions between these three codopants. In particular, our results showed that the properties of the phosphorus-related color centers, which mainly determine the fiber infrared radiation sensitivity, are strongly influenced by the germanium- and fluorine-codoping.

      In this work, the performance of single-mode optical fibers (SMFs) for ultraviolet (UV) radiation monitoring and dosimetry applications is presented. In particular, this work will focus on the Radiation-Induced Absorption (RIA) phenomena in the Near-Infrared domain (NIR). Such phenomena play a very important role in the sensing mechanism for SMF. Single mode fibers with a diameter of 50 µm were used for this purpose. These fibers were dipped into germanium (Ge) solution with different concentrations (1, 3, and 5 wt%) to produce the sensing part of the sensor. For all optical fiber sensors under investigation, the results indicated the dependence of the RIA on the applied UV radiation energy. Also, a redshift in peak wavelength was obtained. The influence of Ge concentration on sensing efficiency was studied and the best results were obtained with 3 wt% concentration as compared to 1 wt % and 5 wt % concentrations. The presented sensor shows good sensitivity to UV radiation which makes it possible to be applied in medical applications.

Dose Levels

Ge-doped, P-doped, normal single-mode (SM) and multimode (MM) optical fibers were exposed to Cobalt-60 gamma radiation at dose rates of 0.5 and 3.0 Gy/min, typical radiotherapy dose rates. A CCD-based fiber optic spectrometer was used to measure the real-time absorption spectra of these fibers in the visible region. Experimental results have shown that P-doped fiber is the most radiation-sensitive of the fibers tested. At the wavelength of 502 nm, the radiation-induced loss in P-doped fiber shows a linear relationship with the total dose with no dose-rate dependence. This indicates that dose rates have no influence on a fiber optic dosimeter operating at this wavelength. The radiation-induced losses in normal MM fibers, Ge-doped MM fibers, and Ge-doped SM fibers are shownto be dose-rate dependent. PACS No.: 42.62nBe, 42.81-i
