Radiation damage in commercial optical fibers

  • 1. Engineering Faculty, Rome (Italy)

Description

Experimental results obtained by exposure of commercial optical fibers to 60Co γ-ray irradiation, are reported. The possibility of utilizing these fibers as far as a total dose of 6000 rad in the light spectrum is shown. It is also shown that it is possible to obtain total recovery of irradiated fibers by annealing at 5000C. (author)
