Popis: This article describes the effect of processing on the sensitivity of optical fiber based dosimeters. It argues that additional processing steps such as application of vacuum to collapse a fiber preform increases the amount of defect centers which would in turn act as radiation absorbers. Dosimeters based on photonic crystal fibers (PCFs), collapsed-hole PCFs, and Flat fibers are described. Coupled with suitable dopants, these fibers show promising performance as dosimeters.
