Combined Temperature and Radiation Effects on Radiation-Sensitive Single-Mode Optical Fibers

We analyzed the simultaneous response to radiation and temperature exposure of radiation-sensitive optical fibers doped with aluminum, phosphorus and/or Germanium in the framework of the CERTYF (Combined Effects of Radiations, Temperature and hYdrogen on silica-based optical Fibers) project, whose aim is to build a predictive model based on intrinsic and extrinsic optical parameters.
