Abstract

We have measured the radiation-induced Bragg wavelength shift (BWS) of fiber Bragg grating (FBG) which was inscribed in Ge-doped core silica using a phase mask during irradiation up to a dose of 23 kGy and annealing effects after the gamma-exposure. For packaged FBG sensors, we observed the maximum radiation-induced BWS of about 91 pm during irradiation. Packaged FBG sensors also show higher radiation sensitivity above nearly a factor of two than non-packaged type sensor in the same condition.

게르마늄이 도핑된 실리카 코어에 페이즈 마스크를 이용하여 격자를 새긴 광섬유 브래그 격자 센서를 총 선량 23 kGy의 감마선을 조사하여 방사선에 의한 브래그 파장의 변화를 측정하였고, 방사선 조사 후에는 어닐링 특성을 평가하였다. 패키징된 FBG 센서의 경우, 방사선 조사동안 최대 91 pm의 브래그 파장변화가 나타났다. 또한 동일한 조건에서 패키징된 광섬유 브래그 격자 센서가 패키징 되지 않은 센서보다 방사선 민감도가 2배 이상 높게 나타났다.
