Abstract

A radiation resistant optical fiber with a high birefringence is fabricated on the basis of nitrogen-doped silica glass using the PANDA technology and studied. The loss in this fiber for an absorbed @[gamma]-radiation dose of 2–10 kGy does not exceed 5–10 dB/km, which is an order of magnitude lower than that of standard telecommunication fibers with a germanium silicate core.
