Scintillating silica optical fibers are fabricated by using Sol-Gel method. Based on the fabricated scintillating fibers, a Gamma radiation fiber sensor system is set up. Through doping different concentrations of cerium (Ce) element in Sol-Gel material, two scintillating fibers are fabricated with the Ce and Si mole fraction of 0.14% and 0.22%. By using a 137 Cs Gamma radiation source, the dependences of the sensing properties on the fiber coating, Ce-doped concentration and fiber length are investigated and analyzed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
