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 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 …

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 …

Undoped-silica-core F-doped-silica-cladding optical fibers (“undoped fibers”) are an
important fiber type for applications requiring resistance to ionizing radiation (eg, the nuclear …

In recent years, optical fibers have found extensive use in special environments, including
high-energy radiation scenarios like nuclear explosion diagnostics and reactor monitoring …

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 …

Seven F-doped-and undoped-silica-core optical fibers were produced by the MCVD-
method, the ratio of the O and SiCl molar flow rates in the vapor-gas mixture during the …

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 …

Radiation-induced attenuation (RIA) at λ= 1.55 μm is studied in polarization-maintaining
(PM) pure-silica-core optical fibers of the Panda-type under γ-irradiation and upon pulsed-X …
