The aim of this study is to develop a new method to measure one-dimensional dose distribution of high-energy electron using a miniature fiber-optic radiation sensor. The measurements are made by a thin plastic optical fiber with an organic scintillating sensor tip. The scintillating light in the visible wavelength range is guided to a silicon photodiode by plastic optical fiber in order to convert light output to electrical signal. The one-dimensional spatial dependence of elctron beam is measured by moving the sensor tip with uniform speed. It is shown that this fiber-optic radiation sensor has better spatial resolution than conventional ion chamber and it needs much less time to measure one-dimensional dose distribution in the high radiation fields.

In this study, we developed a remote gamma-ray spectroscopy system based on a fiber-optic radiation sensor (FORS) that is composed of an inorganic scintillator coated with reduced graphene oxide (RGO) and a plastic optical fiber (POF). As a preliminary experiment, we measured the transmitted light intensities using RGO membranes of different thicknesses with different wavelengths of emitted light. To evaluate the FORS performance, we determined the optimal thickness of the RGO membrane and measured the amounts of scintillating light and gamma energy spectra using radioactive isotopes such as 60Co and 137Cs. The amounts of scintillating light from the RGO-coated inorganic scintillators increased, and the energy resolutions of the gamma-ray spectra were enhanced. In addition, the gamma-ray energy spectra were measured using different types of RGO-coated inorganic scintillators depending on the lengths of the POFs for remote gamma-ray spectroscopy. It was expected that inorganic scintillators coated with RGO in FORS can deliver improved performance, such as increments of scintillating light and energy resolution in gamma-ray spectroscopy, and they can be used to identify nuclides remotely in various nuclear facilities.
