    Abstract

    Radiation effects on the performances of TW-COTDR (Tunable Wavelength - Coherent Optical Time Domain Reflectometry) optical fiber sensors based on Rayleigh scattering have been studied online for Ge-doped and F-doped fibers. We confirm that the Rayleigh response is not affected by low radiation (dose ∼55 kGy). However we observed using the TW-COTDR technology, a radiation induced frequency shift increasing at higher radiation (dose ∼ 10MGy): up to 96 GHz for Ge-doped fiber and up to 25.5 GHz for F-doped fiber.
