Vb. Gavrilov et al., ABSORPTION-SPECTRA OF PURE QUARTZ FIBER LIGHTGUIDES IRRADIATED WITH GAMMA-QUANTA FROM A CO-60 SOURCE, Instruments and experimental techniques, 40(4), 1997, pp. 457-466
The absorption spectra of quartz fiber lightguides of various types, i
rradiated with gamma-quanta to a total dose of 10-1000 Mrad, were stud
ied in the wavelength range from 200 to 7000 nm. It is established tha
t a certain spectral region exists in which optical losses exhibit a m
inimum growth with increasing absorbed dose.
