Abstract
This paper describes the development of a
miniaturized radiation flux monitor by means of Cherenkov
light. The idea is to use the intensity of Cherenkov light as a
measurement for the radiation flux. An initial test is performed
with an extrinsic dielectric object which is coupled with an
optical fibre. These test show that the Cherenkov radiation in the
fibre itself was too high compared with the captured extrinsic
light. Further test to use intrinsic Cherenkov fibre optic sensors
are planned in the near future and the envisaged measurement
set up is explained.
