Abstract
We investigated the influence of core material, cladding thickness, drawing speed, and coating material on the radiation sensitivity of pure silica core step-index fibers with high OH-content. The gamma radiation-induced attenuation at 660 nm and 850 nm of fibers by different manufacturers are compared.
