This study focuses on the key thermoluminescent dosimetric responses of Ge-doped collapsed photonic crystal fiber (PCF), which offers higher sensitivity than conventional single-mode optical fibers. The results show a favorable comparison with ionization chamber values (typically within 5%) when using a linac operated at 6 and 10 MV. Threshold dose, reproducibility, and dose-rate dependency were also characterized.
In measuring exposure to ionizing radiation various detectors and techniques have been developed. Current investigation is of key TL dosimetric responses of Ge-doped collapsed photonic crystal fibre (PCF), a form offering the advantage of greater sensitivity compared to more conventional single-mode optical fibers. The PCF samples that have been studied herein have been used to obtain external photon beam percentage depth doses (PDD), elevated sensitivity being desirable in providing a basis for the capture of the range of doses. Using a linac operated at 6 and 10 MV, the results show a favourable comparison with ionization chamber values (typically to within 5%). Threshold dose, reproducibility, and dose-rate dependency have also been characterized.
