Abstract

This paper presents the first results of long term experiments conducted within the SOFTI (Study of Optical Fibres and components under Thermal ageing and Irradiation) project. This on-going 6-years study is intended to determine the effects of ageing on the behaviour of optical fibres and their fibre-end components submitted to harsh environments, with respect to the safety of nuclear facilities. The test program consists of irradiations at low dose rates with different thermal constraints and spool radius. After completion, these tests will enable us to write a guideline for qualification procedures related to future fibre-optic systems, for their applications in nuclear facilities. The observations of these first results show a clear dependence of the radius of curvature for the radiation induced loss. To our knowledge, it is the first time that this was experimentally verified for a radius of curvature superior to 6 cm.

SOFTI:光子元件长期辐照和热老化试验的中间结果

本文介绍了SOFTI(热老化和辐照下光纤和组件研究)项目中进行的长期实验的第一批结果。这项正在进行的为期6年的研究旨在确定老化对恶劣环境下光纤及其纤维端组件性能的影响，并考虑到核设施的安全性。测试程序包括不同热约束和线轴半径的低剂量率辐照。完成后，这些试验将使我们能够编写与未来光纤系统有关的鉴定程序指南，以便在核设施中应用。这些初步结果的观测表明，曲率半径对辐射引起的损耗有明显的依赖性。据我们所知，这是第一次在曲率半径大于6厘米的情况下进行实验验证。
