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 …

We report, for the first time to our knowledge, the excellent optical performance of long-
period gratings written in three standard fibers and in two nonstandard fibers, namely, S …

We report large-mode-area solid-core photonic crystal fibers made from fused silica that
resist ultraviolet (UV) solarization even at relatively high optical powers. Using a process of …

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 …

In the final objective of elaborating an optical sensor of dimensional change in a nuclear
testing reactor, we present extreme high level irradiation tests, up to 1.3 10 20 n fast/cm 2 …

The majority of the credit for this book on nuclear-pumped lasers (NPLs) goes to its original
Russian authors. I (George H. Miley) became the contributing American co-author when I …

We present results of gamma irradiation tests of 200 μm pure silica core optical fibers with a
low and high-OH concentration, with and without hydrogen loading. All the fibers were …

Radiation-induced absorption and luminescence are measured in the visible spectral region
in H/sub 2/-loaded and as-drawn fibers with KU and KS-4V silicas in the core in the process …

The antiradiation effect and evolution process of color center defects in hydrogen-treated Er
3+/Al 3+/Ge 4+ codoped fiber under radiation were studied. The radiation-induced …

Optical plasma diagnostic systems often require a complex optical path involving mirrors,
lenses and windows. The use of optical fibres could significantly simplify the design of such …
