TECHNICAL FAQ

Questions for application planning

Is a radiation-dose qualification claimed on this page?

No. Qualification must be defined and verified for the intended fiber, dose, dose rate and environment.

How should radiation exposure be defined?

Define the radiation type, total dose, dose rate, temperature, atmosphere and the optical and mechanical tests performed before and after exposure.

What should be shared for an evaluation discussion?

Provide the radiation profile, operating environment, fiber structure and the optical and mechanical retention criteria.
