Increase as well as decrease is observed, depending on fibre type and wavelength. Differential mode attenuation and mode delay measurements, as well as examination of light emission distribution at the fibre endface before and after irradiation are performed to explain the results.enbandwidthdifferential mode attenuationdifferential mode delayDMADMDgamma irradiationgraded index fibresradiation sensitivity620Effect of radiation on the bandwidth of graded index fibresconference paper
