Investigation of Ionizing-Radiation-Induced Photodarkening in Rare-Earth-Doped Optical Fiber Amplifier Materials

Motivated by an increasing demand for functionality and reliability of systems operating in harsh, ionizing-radiation environments, the core of the present research is an investigation of the response of rare-earth-doped, aluminosilicate fibers to ionizing radiation. These rare-earth-doped fibers, c...
