Over the last decades, ionizing radiation has been gaining importance in various fields outside the nuclear industry. Among available dosimetry techniques, optical fiber‑based dosimeters (OFDs) offer numerous advantages such as electromagnetic immunity, small dimensions and possibility of remote and real time monitoring. Monitoring of radiation‑induced attenuation (RIA) of the fiber is one of the most straightforward OFD techniques.
Compared to silica fibers, large‑diameter multi-mode (MM) polymer optical fibers (POFs) are easy to handle, allow for more economical connectorization and have better biocompatibility. Therefore they may yield cheaper, user-friendlier monitoring systems. In this work, feasibility of RIA-based radiation monitoring with highly sensitive perfluorinated (PF) POFs has been investigated.
Application importance of ionizing radiation has been growing steadily over the last decades. Extensive utilization of ionizing radiation generates demand for development of suitable monitoring techniques. Radiation monitoring systems based on optical fibers offer several key advantages such as small footprint, possibility of remote and real-time measurement as well as electromagnetic immunity. In this contribution, we investigate radiation-induced attenuation (RIA)-based sensing with perfluorinated polymer optical fibers (PF-POFs). The RIA response of two commercial PF-POFs is assessed in a low dose region and performance and limitations of the system are discussed. The concept represents a potential high-sensitivity, low-cost and easy-to-use on-line radiation monitoring system with distributed detection capability.
