Silica-based optical fibers, fiber-based devices and optical fiber sensors are today
integrated in a variety of harsh environments associated with radiation constraints. Under …

In this review paper, we present radiation effects on silica-based optical fibers. We first
describe the mechanisms inducing microscopic and macroscopic changes under irradiation …

There is an invisible enemy that constantly threatens the operation of electronics: ionizing
radiation. From sea level to outer space, ionizing radiation is virtually everywhere. At sea …

We investigate the response of Ge-doped, P-doped, pure-silica, or Fluorine-doped fibers to
extreme environments combining doses up to MGy (SiO 2) level of 10 keV X-rays and …

We investigated the feasibility of using phosphorus-doped optical fibers to monitor the levels
of deposited dose during an irradiation. For this, we characterized their spectral and time …

The monitoring of ionizing radiation is critical for the safe operation of nuclear and other high-
power plants. Fiber-optic sensing of radiation has been pursued for over 45 years. Most …

We have investigated the thermoluminescent response of three Germanium-doped silica-
based optical fibers obtained by varying the drawing parameters from a unique preform. We …

We investigated the nature, optical properties, and decay kinetics of point defects causing
large transient attenuation increase observed in silica-based optical fibers exposed to short …

Due to its unique properties, amorphous silicon dioxide (a-SiO2) or silica is a key material in
many technological fields, such as high-power laser systems, telecommunications, and fiber …

By their very nature, optical fibers and, by extension, intrinsic and extrinsic optical fiberbased
sensors are promising devices to be used in very different and complex environments …
