摘要: 用光纤把辐射能转变为Cerenkov光光能的传感器和信号传输线时,可以构成频带极宽的电子束和γ射线脉冲诊断系统.本文从理论上计算了入射的相对论电子或入射的γ射线形成的Compton电子在光纤中产生的Cerenkov光的灵敏度.研制了光纤传感器和测量系统,给出了系统灵敏度、动态范围以及带宽的解析表达式,这对评价系统性能和论证可应用性是很重要的.标定了传感器对γ射线的灵敏度.现系统可突破常规系统带宽的极限记录.系统带宽潜力达500MHz以上,用于极快辐射脉冲测量将显示出它的独特优点.

Abstract: Optical fiber used as a sensor converting radiation energy into Oerenkov light energy and a transmission line can form wide band electron and gamma radiation diagnostics system. Application of optical fiber will considerably improve frequency response characteristics of measurement system. Present system is able to break the record of bandwidth limit of routine systems. In this paper,the sensitivity of optical fiber to Oerenkov light emitted in itself by incident relativistic electron beam and the sensitivity of the optical fiber to Oerenkov light emitted by Compton electrons created by incident gamma ray are theoretically calculated. The mathematical expressions for sensitivity, dynamic range and bandwidth of the system are given. These forulas are of great importance in estimating system performances and demonstrating its applicability. The system has maximum sensitivity at the wavelength of 800nm. We have also performed an experimental calibration for sensitivity of the sensor to γ-ray, and a recommendation value for the sensitivity is given. Its bandwidth is expected to be more than 500 MHz. When the system is used to measure very fast pulsed radiation, it shows its distinctive advantage.
