Radiation Resistance of Ge-doped Multi-Mode Fiber for Optical Links in Collider Experiments

The applications of optical links in collider experiments provide the advantage of high-speed data transmission with low mass fibers over distances of a few hundred meters. Ge-doped multi-mode fibers are evaluated for radiation tolerance in ionizing doses of Co-60 gamma rays. The Radiation-Induced Attenuation (RIA) varies significantly depending on doping substances and fabrication technologies. A type of telecom-grade fiber has demonstrated an RIA of 0.05 dB/m under a total ionizing dose of 300 kGy(SiO2). The dependence on dose rate is compared in the range between 5 Gy/hr and 1.4 kGy/hr, and the annealing recovery is observed after the Co-60 source is shielded. The temperature dependence is investigated across a range of -15 oC to room temperature. At cold temperatures, stagnant annealing leads to a substantially higher RIA during irradiation. The recovery of radiation-induced defects is typically within a few hours, resulting in similar RIA levels regardless of the dose rate and temperature during exposure. Ge-doped fibers of chosen fabrication methods are capable of enduring high ionizing doses for use in high-energy physics experiments.

Characteristics of Ge-doped Multi-Mode Fibers in Total Ionizing Dose

Purpose: The fiber optical links in 850 nm band with Ge-doped multi-mode (MM) fibers are well developed for data transmission at 10 Gbps and higher. The applications in nuclear environments require radiation resistance. The characteristics of Ge-doped MM fibers are investigated for Radiation Induced Attenuation (RIA) in Total Ionizing Dose (TID). Methods: Commercial samples of Ge-doped MM fibers were irradiated in Go-60 gamma rays at dose rates of 5 to 1.4k Gy(SiO2)/hr. The fiber samples were packaged in water tanks maintained at constant temperatures in the range of -15 to 45 degC. The optical power transmitted through the fibers were recorded in irradiation, and in annealing when the source was shielded. The measurements of RIA in time are analyzed for dose rate and temperature dependences. Results: Ge-doped fiber samples of OM2 to OM4 grades were investigated for attenuation of optical power in radiation ionizing dose. Depending on the fabrication technology, two of the fiber types show radiation resistance with the RIAs of 0.2 dB/m and 0.05 dB/m, respectively, for the TID of 300 kGy(SiO2). At low dose rate of 5 Gy/hr, the RIA increases steadily and the annealing of low density ionizing defects does not cause notable deviation. At 1.4 kGy/hr the accumulated defects result to twice higher RIA during irradiation, and is worsen to a factor three in cold temperature. However, once the source is shielded the recovery is effective in a few hours. Conclusion: The telecom products of 850 nm Ge-doped MM fibers provide high speed communication in distances of a few hundred meters. The industrial fabrication methods provide fibers that can endure radiation ionizing dose for applications in nuclear instrumentation.

The design and the performance of an ultrahigh vacuum 3He fridge-based scanning tunneling microscope with a double deck sample stage for in-situ tip treatment

Scanning tunneling microscope (STM) is a powerful tool for studying the structural and electronic properties of materials at the atomic scale. The combination of low temperature and high magnetic field for STM and related spectroscopy techniques allows us to investigate the novel physical properties of materials at these extreme conditions with high energy resolution. Here, we present the construction and the performance of an ultrahigh vacuum 3He fridge-based STM system with a 7 Tesla superconducting magnet. It features a double deck sample stage on the STM head so we can clean the tip by field emission or prepare a spin-polarized tip in situ without removing the sample from the STM. It is also capable of in situ sample and tip exchange and preparation. The energy resolution of scanning tunneling spectroscopy at T = 310 mK is determined to be 400 mK by measuring the superconducting gap with a niobium tip on a gold surface. We demonstrate the performance of this STM system by imaging the bicollinear magnetic order of $Fe_{1+x}Te$ at T=5K.
