Abstract

This paper reports the comparative experimental study concerning the irradiation effects of gamma-ray and electron beam on fiber Bragg grating (FBG) and distributed feedback fiber laser (DFB-FL). The obvious reflection wavelength shifts are observed for FBGs and DFB-FLs without evident changes in reflectivity and bandwidth under the current experimental irradiation condition, up to 60 kGy gamma radiation and 100 kGy electron beam radiation, respectively. Especially for DFB-FLs, evident attenuation in output power is observed and the rising tendency of the attenuation under increasing irradiation dose is demonstrated as well. Thus, the DFB-FLs are more suitable for radiation detection as compared to passive FBGs.
