Description

This paper presents the effects on optical reflection and transmission of irradiating, with a Co-60 gamma ray source, nine different optical components used on a spaceborne meteorological instrument in GEO. Values are presented of the diminished transmission and reflection due to radiation exposure. An attempt is made to relate specific glass types to specific levels of degradation
