Abstract
The advantages of using optical fibres as ionizing radiation sensors a re discussed. The radiation induced transmission loss of a plastic cla d silica (PCS) optical fibre has been investigated with respect to sui tability for dosimetry purposes at Co-60 source irradiation applicatio ns. It is found that the response of PCS fibre is strongly linear with dose up to 10(3) Gy and stable in time, with sensitivity 1.47 x 10(-1 ) dB/km Gy at 0.6 mu m wavelength of the conducted light.
