Abstract
In the present work we have studied radiation effects on the
volume holographic elements (Bragg gratings) written in
photo-thermo-refractive glass. We have found that the
radiation sensitivity of the VHE is slightly higher as compared
to that of PTRG, from which it was fabricated. This difference
can be attributed to the effect of grating development process.
The most important practical conclusion is that after
exposure to a dose of γ-radiation or proton radiation, which
corresponds to several year of operation on a Geostationary
Transfer Orbit, a negligible degradation of the performance
characteristics is observed.
