In this topical review, the recent progress on radiation-hardened fiber-based technologies is
detailed, focusing on examples for space applications. In the first part of the review, we …

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 …

Fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) are point optical fiber sensors that allow the monitoring of a
diversity of environmental parameters, eg, temperature or strain. Several research groups …

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 …

This paper presents the state of the art distributed sensing systems, based on optical fibres,
developed and qualified for the French Cigéo project, the underground repository for high …

Abstract Radiation-Induced Attenuation (RIA) is a crucial parameter for the applications of
fiber optic gyroscopes in space environments. Under the irradiation of a 60 Co source with a …

This paper revealed the role of various parameters on the radiation response behavior of
P2O5 doped step-index multimode (SIMM) fibers having different content of P2O5 (12 …

We analyzed the simultaneous response to radiation and temperature exposure of radiation-
sensitive optical fibers doped with aluminum, phosphorus and/or Germanium in the …

We investigate the X-ray (40 keV) and γ-ray (1.2 MeV) radiation responses of three different
radiation sensitive Optical Fibers (OFs) up to 100 Gy (SiO 2). In particular, we study the …
