Over the past decade and more, considerable interest has been shown in the
thermoluminescence (TL) properties of silica-based single-mode optical fibres, in particular
investigating potential ionising radiation dosimetry applications. Herein, study has been
made of TL glow curve, dose response, reproducibility and fading of 6 mol% Ge-doped
silica, fabricated in-house and produced in the form of cylindrical fibres. Three different
pairings of doped-core and silica cladding diameters were produced:(40, 241) µm,(80, 483) …
