Radiation resistance characteristics of optical fibers

Abstract

In order to fabricate an optical fiber with an excellent radiation resistance characteristic, we have investigated the radiation resistance characteristics of various types of optical fibers. As a result, two kinds of fiber were found to have an excellent radiation resistance characteristic which can be sufficiently used in the practical application under large doses exceeding <tex xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">1 \times 10^{8}</tex> R.
