Abstract

We have investigated the effects of ionizing radiation-induced changes on dispersion and refractive index in photonic crystal fibre, boron co-doped photosensitive fibre and standard SMF-28 fibre up to a level of 7 MGy of ⁶⁰CO γ-radiation. We have been unable to observe any changes within an experimental error of ∼1% for the dispersion value and <1.5 × 10^-3 for the refractive index.
