Abstract
Using the MCVD-technology, radiation-resistant multimode optical fibers based on fluorosilicate glass with a gradient refractive index profile were developed. Radiation-induced attenuation (RIA) of light in the fibers was compared with the literature data on analogous fibers manufactured by the PCVD-technology. It was found out that RIA in the MCVD-fibers at the wavelength λ=1310 nm under γ-irradiation at the doses of up to 10 kGy is 1-2 dB/km (19-29%) lower than RIA in the Super RadHard fiber produced by the PCVD-technology and previously supposed to have a record-high radiation resistance. Keywords: radiation-induced attenuation of light, RIA, graded-index multimode optical fiber, radiation resistance.
