Periodic measurements were made of laser threshold and efficiency, and p-i-n leakage current and photocurrent. There were no sudden failures and there was very little wearout related degradation in either unirradiated or irradiated sample groups. The results suggest that the tested devices have a sufficiently long lifetime to operate for at least 10 years inside the Compact Muon Solenoid experiment despite being exposed to a harsh radiation environment.","PeriodicalId":135784,"journal":{"name":"1999 Fifth European Conference on Radiation and Its Effects on Components and Systems.

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.","PeriodicalId":135784,"journal":{"name":"1999 Fifth European Conference on Radiation and Its Effects on Components and Systems.
