Optical fibre dosimeter
Jelínek, Michal ; Mikel, Břetislav
In the nuclear facility, there is currently a demand for optical methods of measuring gamma radiation. For these measurements, we need very robust measurement methods and sophisticated equipment. Silica optical fibres coupled to crystal scintillators are suitable and we present results from their implementation. The scintillators detect gamma radiation and the silica optical fibres transmit the scintillation light from the scintillator to the detector. We used commercially available silica optical fibres up to 1.5 mm in diameter with different numerical apertures to transmit visible light from the scintillators to the detector.

Optical fibers for measuring ionizing radiation
Jelínek, Michal ; Mikel, Břetislav
Optical fiber ionising radiation measurements cannot be used to continuously measure high-energy ionising radiation, especially gamma radiation. Previously presented sensors and methods use optical fibers with a scintillator on/inside the fiber, optical fibers doped with a scintillator, etc. These methods are not suitable for measuring high-energy radiation mainly due to low efficiency. Therefore, we present a measurement method where optical fibers are used only to transport the scintillation radiation to the shielded detection electronics.
