Abstract

Fiber Bragg gratings can be used to monitor temperature or strain in harsh environments. We investigate the effect of Xrays on type III gratings - also called void gratings -which are known for their capacity to withstand high temperatures. The tested gratings are inscribed in a SMF28 germanosilicate optical fiber using the point-by-point method and a frequency-doubled Yb femtosecond laser emitting at 515 nm. The tested FBGs are separated in two groups depending on their reflectivity levels (Low/High). Half of each group is pre-annealed at a temperature of 750°C during 30 min. We have irradiated all the gratings up to 100 kGy(SiO2) at a dose-rate of 10 Gy/s at two different irradiation temperatures: 25°C and 150°C. For all the irradiations, the grating radiation response is identical independently of the chosen writing and preannealing conditions. When the irradiation is performed at 25°C, a Bragg wavelength shift of 10 pm is observed for all the gratings, which represents an error of less than 1°C at the total dose of 100 kGy while at 150°C the Bragg peak shift only of less than 4 pm corresponding to an error of 0.3°C.
