Fiber Optics in High Dose Radiation Fields

摘要

A review of the behavior of state-of-the-art optical fiber waveguides in high dose (greater than or equal to 10 exp 5 rad), steady state radiation fields is presented. The influence on radiation-induced transmission loss due to experimental parameters such as dose rate, total dose, irradiation history, temperature, wavelength, and light intensity, for future work in high dose environments are given.
