Silica-based optical fibers, fiber-based devices and optical fiber sensors are today
integrated in a variety of harsh environments associated with radiation constraints. Under …

In this topical review, the recent progress on radiation-hardened fiber-based technologies is
detailed, focusing on examples for space applications. In the first part of the review, we …

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 …

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 …

Over the last two decades UV-induced Δn profiling in SiO2 glasses was widely used for
production of in-fibre/waveguide Bragg grating-based (BG) optical devices for photonics …

The spectral dependencies of refractive index have been measured in Ge-, P-, N-, Cl-, B-, F-,
and Al-doped silica glasses as well as in undoped silica glasses using bulk prism samples …

We report on the effect of MGy dose level/spl gamma/-irradiation on the parameters of fibre
Bragg gratings intended for sensing applications. The/spl gamma/-radiation sensitivities of …

Nitrogen-doped silica-core fibre is discussed in the context of a technological basis for the
fabrication of Bragg gratings for sensors with enhanced temperature resistance up to 900 C …

γ-radiation-induced loss spectra were measured in a radically new optical fibre with a
refractive index profile shaped by nitrogen-doped silica. The fibre showed unique radiation …

In-fiber Bragg and long-period gratings as well as Mach-Zehnder interferometers based on
germanium-and nitrogen-doped silica fibers have been investigated under/spl gamma/-rays …
