研究目的
Investigating the X-ray and γ-ray radiation responses of three different radiation sensitive Optical Fibers (OFs) doped with Phosphorus (P), Aluminum (Al) and Phosphorus/Cerium (PCe) in their cores, focusing on the Radiation Induced Attenuation (RIA) in the Near Infrared domain (NIR) at various temperatures.
研究成果
The study demonstrates that RIA levels and kinetics in optical fibers depend on the operating wavelength, fiber composition, and temperature. The P and PCe-doped fibers show significant RIA due to P1 defects, with Ce-codoping reducing radiation sensitivity. The Al-doped fiber exhibits high sensitivity without specific absorption bands in the NIR. The findings highlight the potential of these fibers for radiation detection and dosimetry, with the CF application providing insights into the core material's RIA response.
研究不足
The study is limited to single mode fibers doped with P, Al, and PCe, and the RIA measurements are up to 100 Gy(SiO2). The temperature range is up to 50 °C. The spectral analysis is constrained by the signal to noise ratio above 1800 nm.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved irradiating fiber samples up to doses of 100 Gy(SiO2) with X-ray and γ-ray sources to measure RIA levels and kinetics. The methodology included spectral analysis and mode Confinement Factor (CF) calculation to understand the influence of modal propagation on RIA spectra.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Three single mode fibers doped with P, Al, and PCe were selected. The samples were prepared in single-layer coils for X-ray irradiation to avoid shielding issues.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment included a Deuterium Halogen DH-2000-BAL light source, NIRQUEST spectrometers, and radiation resistant single mode fiber pigtails. The X-ray MOPERIX machine and CERN’s 60Co irradiation facility were used for irradiation.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The RIA was measured by comparing transmitted spectra before and during irradiation. The temperature was controlled and monitored during experiments.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The RIA spectra were analyzed by applying Lambert-Beer law. The CF was calculated to correct the RIA spectra for the core material response.
