Abstract
The effect of various coating materials on the total dose radiation sensitivity of fluorosilicate-clad pure fused silica core step-index fibers has been studied at and below room temperature. As indicated in Table I, various combinations of coatings allowed us to study the effects of coating type, coating thickness, and single- vs double-dipped coatings.
