Effect of radiation on the attenuation length of clear fiber

Abstract This paper focuses on measuring and describing the attenuation lengths of two types of clear fiber with distinct irradiation doses. By calculating the ratio of the ADC values of each irradiated fiber to that of the non-irradiated fiber, compared with the attenuation length of the non-irradiated fiber, the attenuation lengths of the irradiated fibers are obtained. It is found that the attenuation lengths of both fibers decreased with the irradiation dose, and the slope of the corresponding function is different.
