“…However, the irradiation with gamma-ray (γ-ray) on the optical fiber with the FBG is known to bring about an increase in the transmission loss and thus the shift of the Bragg peak wavelength [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. An increase in the signal transmission loss under high energy irradiation is known due to the formation of radiation-induced defects and color centers [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][21][22][23]. Thus, the radiation resistance can be improved by reducing and blocking the formation of radiation-induced defects such as non-bridging oxygen hole centers (NBOHCs), E centers, and self-trapped holes (STHs) [5-8, 18, 19, 22-25].…”

A new radiation-hard germano-silicate glass optical fiber with a pure silica glass buffer and a boron-doped silica glass inner cladding was fabricated for temperature sensor application based on the fiber Bragg grating (FBG) under -ray irradiation environment. The temperature dependences of optical attenuation at 1550.5 nm and Bragg reflection wavelength shift from 18 ℃ to 40 ℃ before the γ-ray irradiation were about 4.5710-4 dB/ ℃ and 5.48 pm/ ℃ , respectively. The radiation-induced optical attenuation at 1550.5 nm and the radiation-induced Bragg reflection wavelength shift under the γ-ray irradiation with the total dose of 22.85 kGy at 35 ℃ were about 0.03 dB/m and 0.12 nm, respectively, with the γ-ray irradiation sensitivity of 5.2510-3 pm/Gy. The temperature and the γ-ray irradiation dependence of optical attenuation at 1550.5 nm in the FBG written fiber with boron-doped silica glass inner cladding were about 6 times and 4 times lower than that in the FBG written fiber without boron-doped silica glass inner cladding under a temperature change from 18 ℃ to 40 ℃ and the γ-ray irradiation with the total dose of 22.85 kGy at 35 ℃, respectively. Furthermore, the effect of temperature increase on the Bragg reflection wavelength of the FBG written fiber with boron-doped silica inner cladding was much larger about 1000 times than that of the γ-ray irradiation. However, no influence on the reflection power of the Bragg wavelengths and the full width at half maximum (FWHM) bandwidth under temperature and the γ-ray irradiation change was found. Also, after the γ-ray irradiation with the dose of 22.85 kGy, no significant change in the refractive index was found but the residual stresses developed in the fiber were slightly relaxed or retained.
