Abstract

Anisotropy of radiation-induced light absorption (RIA) in a birefringent undoped-silica-core PANDA optical fiber was revealed for the first time. RIA proved to be greater for light polarized along the slow axis than along the fast axis. During γ-irradiation at a dose of ~1 kGy (0.85 Gy/s), temperature of –60°C, the RIA difference for the two polarization states at wavelength λ = 1.55 µm amounted to 12%. The RIA anisotropy effect was found to go up in the process of post-irradiation relaxation of the fiber to reach ~60% already in 10 min after termination of irradiation with a trend for further increase. At room temperature, the RIA anisotropy effect did not showup.
