摘要
Bragg gratings have been written within four germanosilicate fibers either by a pulsed or by a continuous-wave exposure of each fiber to a coherent UV two-beam interference pattern. These gratings have been exposed under steady state conditions to gamma-ray doses as high as 10(4) Grays. The dose rates ranged between 10 Gy/h and 1.3 x 10(2) Gy/h. The transmission spectra of the fibers have been recorded during and after the Co-60 irradiation, near the grating Bragg wavelengths. Whereas the induced loss reached 600 dB/km near 1.3 mum, no significant change in the spectral characteristics of the gratings could be detected within the experimental accuracy, enabling their future use in a nuclear environment.
