Abstract :
Fiber Bragg and long period gratings are photonic components that find numerous applications in telecommunication and sensing. In some cases, such as space, high-energy physics, and nuclear industry, those applications include the presence of ionizing radiation. It is therefore essential to evaluate their radiation response. In this paper, we review radiation effects on various types of fiber gratings.
