Abstract
High‐numerical‐aperature lead silicate and barium crown glass uncald fibers have been doped with cerium to decrease their radiation sensitivity. The radiation‐induced optical loss in both the visible and near‐infrared in these core materials has been studied as a function of time (10−3–104 sec) after pulsed irradiation and cerium concentration (0–1 wt%). It has been determined that cerium is effective in decreasing the loss at a given time and increasing the decay rate of absorption.Keywords
