Abstract
The spectrum of the luminescence in silica core optical fibers under x‐ray excitation has been observed to consist of two distinct emission bands at 450 and 650 nm. The contrasting dose‐dependent behaviors of the two bands show that they are associated with different luminescent centers in the glass matrix. The application of the radiation‐induced luminescence in fibers for radiation detection and real‐time dosimetry is outlined.Keywords
