Book excerpt: Samples representative of most of the optical fibers presently available in lengths of 10 m or more were tested for their responses to energetic radiation. Glass fibers doped with three different levels of cesium were also prepared and tested. Permanent and transient x-radiation effects tests were performed. Neutron effects tests were performed. All of the fibers tested showed decreases in transmission when exposed to radiation. All of the fibers emitted fluorescent light pulses when exposed to intense x-ray pulses.
