We report optical fiber diagnostics are extensively used in pulsed power experiments, such as the Sandia Z machine. However, radiation produced in a pulsed power environment can significantly affect these measurements. Catastrophic fiber darkening may be mitigated with shielding, but no flexible material can stop all radiation produced by the machine and/or target. Radiation-induced refractive index modulations are particularly challenging for optical interferometry. Several approaches for radiation-tolerant photonic Doppler velocimetry are discussed here.
