Titel
Fibre Bragg gratings as high dose radiation sensors?
Abstract
We have measured for the first time the shift of the Bragg wavelength and other parameters of fibre Bragg gratings (FBGs) exposed to gamma-radiation at different wavelengths up to a dose of 100 kGy. The results show that the FBG sensitivity to radiation increases from 820 nm to 1516 nm so that FBGs with higher Bragg wavelength, e.g. 1550 nm, are good candidates for high dose radiation sensing: no saturation was observed up to 100 kGy and the measured wavelength shift was fairly independent on the radiation dose rate.
