doi:10.15541/jim20170213

Abstract

Abstract:

Effect of gamma-ray radiation on magneto-optical properties of Pb-doped optical silica fiber before and after irradiation were investigated. The experiment results indicated that Verdet constants of the fiber samples at 660, 808, 980, 1310, and 1550 nm were 3.093, 1.676, 1.240, 0.705, and 0.538 rad/(T•m), respectively, larger than these of single mode fiber. Verdet constants decreased with the increase of wavelength. It increased by 20.82% at 660 nm. After the fiber samples being irradiated from 0.8 kGy to 5 kGy, Verdet constants of Pb-doped silica fibers increased with the increase of radiation dose. Especially, Verdet constant of Pb-doped silica fiber irradiated at 5 kGy is 41.94% larger than that of the un-radiation treated fiber, and increased by 33.04% for SMF with the same doses treatment. Verdet constant of the Pb-doped silica fiber can be increased by doping and radiation methods, which is of great significance in the field of current sensing.

Key words: Pb-doped silica fiber, magneto-optical property, Verdet constant, gamma-ray radiation
