In this review paper, we present radiation effects on silica-based optical fibers. We first
describe the mechanisms inducing microscopic and macroscopic changes under irradiation …

The challenge to be faced in ITER and DEMO, as well as future fusion power plants (PPs),
by the insulating (functional) materials for use not only in the magnetic coils and heating …

There is an invisible enemy that constantly threatens the operation of electronics: ionizing
radiation. From sea level to outer space, ionizing radiation is virtually everywhere. At sea …

We measured in situ the radiation-induced absorption of pure silica core fibers exposed to a
fission nuclear reactor. We observed the growth of the 1.39-/spl mu/m. OH vibration band in …

In this work, different FBG temperature sensors are designed and evaluated with various
apodization profiles. Evaluation is done under a wide range of controlling design …

Reliable plasma diagnostics systems are key elements for an efficient operation of future
fusion reactors. They represent a major challenge, as existing systems must be upgraded to …

In this work, different FBG temperature sensors are designed and evaluated with various
apodization profiles. Evaluation is done under a wide range of controlling design …

This paper addresses the particular need to develop suitable fabrication techniques of
glasses to improve the radiation-resistance and extend the lifetime of optical fibres in high …

The ability of fibre optic sensors to operate in hazardous nuclear environments and their
intrinsic immunity to electro-magnetic interference make fibre optic sensing a very promising …

A radiation resistant single-mode optical fiber has been specifically developed for distributed
sensing in harsh environments associated with MGy (SiO 2) dose radiation. Different types …
