  • Abstract
    An optical fibre X-ray sensor using cladding to core coupling of radioluminescent emissions from X-ray phosphors is presented. The sensor is tested using a line source normally used in the pre-ionisation of an excimer laser and is calibrated against a pen dosimeter and the emission intensity of a scintillating block.
