A Scintillating Fiber-optic Dosimeter for Co-60 Radiotherapy
In this study, we have fabricated a scintillating fiberoptic dosimeter (SFOD) for a Co-60 radiotherapy dosimetry. The γrays generated from a Co-60 machine are measured using a SFOD and percent depth dose (PDD) curves are obtained according to the different depths of water phantom. Also, Cerenkov lights generated by the interactions of primary or secondary electrons and a plastic optical fiber a...
متن کاملFiber-optic-coupled, laser heated thermoluminescence dosimeter for remote radiation sensing
We describe an optically transparent, laser heated, thermoluminescent glass dosimeter that is used for fiber-optic-coupled remote radiation monitoring. The glass consists of ZnS nanocrystallites embedded in a Vycor glass host, doped with Cu and Nd ions. An 807 nm, 1 W GaAlAs laser is used to rapidly heat microscopic regions, surrounding the Nd ions, in the composite glass to stimulate blue-gree...
متن کاملEmbedded Fiber Optic Sensing for Bridge Rehabilitation
Instrumentation of a reinforced-concrete bridge subject to structural rehabilitation is described. This forty-seven-year-old bridge is located in Dallas County, Missouri and was upgraded using fiber-reinforced-polymer (FRP) sheets and rods. The permanent field instrumentation consists of an array of extrinsic Fabry-Perot interferometric fiber-optic strain sensors and co-located electrical resis...
متن کاملSintered Al2O3 based Materials for Radiotherapy Thermoluminescent Dosimeter Applications
INTRODUCTION The thermoluminescent (TL) properties of various materials have been studied since a long time but many of these developments never reach the thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD) users. α-Al2O3:C TL detectors were first developed and produced at Urals Polytechnical Institute ( UPI ) (1) in the form of a single crystal. These TLD ( model 2600 – 80 ) are now supplied by Victoreen to man...
متن کاملFiber Optic Distribution Networks for Military Applications
A number of military applications require ad-hoc wireless communication and networking systems that employ low phase noise reference signals for upand downconversion of communication signals and further processing of data signals. High performance fiber optic link s are important for distribution of signals while phase noise degradation induced by AM-PM conversion in fiberoptic links impacts ph...
