Measurements of Cerenkov Lights Using Optical Fibers
2013
Optical fibers can be a medium to produce Cerenkov light due to their dielectric components, and radiation-induced light signals can be obtained using optical fibers without any scintillating material. In this study, we measured and characterized gamma-ray induced Cerenkov light in silica optical fibers, a plastic optical fiber, and a plastic wavelength shifting fiber in order to select the adequate optical fiber for producing Cerenkov light. Also, we measured the intensity of Cerenkov light as functions of irradiated length, irradiation angle, and thickness of various scatterers using the chosen optical fiber.
