Performance studies of an optical fiber OSL/RL dosimetry system in pulsed high-intensity radiation beams

The SrS:Ce,Sm phosphor is suitable for operation in harsh radiation environments where real-time dosimetry measurements are needed to survey the Total Ionizing Dose (TID) damage in electronic components. For these applications, the OSL and RL emissions from this phosphor can be exploited by mounting...

Summary:The SrS:Ce,Sm phosphor is suitable for operation in harsh radiation environments where real-time dosimetry measurements are needed to survey the Total Ionizing Dose (TID) damage in electronic components. For these applications, the OSL and RL emissions from this phosphor can be exploited by mounting the SrS crystal at the edge of a single, radiation-hard, optical fiber. In this work we present an exhaustive characterization of this real-time OSL/RL probe including stability, repeatability of the measured signals, dosimetry performance and measurements of the temporal behavior of the RL signal in pulsed particle beams.
