Abstract :
The effect of X-ray irradiation on the absorption behaviour of highly photosensitive germanosilicate thin films is evaluated. The corresponding impact on the optical response of photosensitive Bragg gratings written into these materials indicates that these structures map be useful as ionising radiation sensor elements
