Effect of ionizing radiation on the optical attenuation in doped silica and plastic fiber-optic waveguides

The radiation-induced optical attenuation has been measured over a wide range of dose and time in state-of-the-art step- and graded-state 60Co and pulsed electron irradiation. Results are reported for previously uncharacterized silica fibers containing dopants such as Ge,P,B,F,Tl, and Cs. At short t...
