Gamma Radiation Threshold Levels
Threshold dose Levels in Borosilicate Glass Fibers <50 rad (very low dose) No detectable changes in structure, optics, or mechanics. Any induced defects are below detection limits of spectroscopy. 10² – 10³ rad (100–1,000 rad) Beginning of trace radiation-induced...
Low Dosage Gamma Radiation
Gamma radiation can interact with borosilicate glass fibers primarily by producing ionization and electronic defects in the glass network. At very low doses (<50 rad, or <0.5 Gy), the effects are generally minimal, but a few points are worth noting: Optical...
Fiber Optic Cable Configurations
Philtec Fiber Optic sensors can make displacement measurements inside of mechanisms, machinery and vacuum chambers. To gain access to the measurement locations, Fiber Optic cables may be connectorized for the probe tips to be separated from the electronics. In some...
