Low-dose photon irradiation response of GE and AI-doped SIO2 optical fibres

We have investigated the thermoluminescent response and fading characteristics of germanium- and aluminium-doped SiO2 optical fibres. These optical fibres were placed in a solid phantom and irradiated using 6 and 10 MV photon beams at doses ranging from 0.02 to 0.24 Gy delivered using a linear accel...
