Methodology to Account for Radiation and Temperature Influences on Optical Fibers compaction and Index of Refraction

S&T Accomplishment Report ·
OSTI ID:2377279
The effects of radiation induced compaction and index of refraction change can cause significant drift in the measurements from intrinsic fiber optic temperature sensors. The work presented here aims to develop and test a methodology to measure these macroscopic properties that are responsible for the drift in order to correct the measurement. This report discusses the measurement methodology, theory, and sensor construction. Preliminary results from the first irradiation test using this sensor are provided here.
