Radiation-induced Changes in Refractive Index and Absorption Coefficient for Several Optical Materials

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

An experiment was performed to determine the change in refractive index and absorptivity upon x radiation of several optical materials. Exposure to a radiation dose of 105 rad produced measurable changes at λ = 0.5330 μm in the index of refraction and at λ = 0.5000 μm in the absorption coefficient of ~5.8 × 10−1 and ~0.1 cm−1 for calcium fluoride. Optical glasses exhibited changes of ~5.8 × 10−6 and ~1.1 cm−1 for LaK 8, ~4.3 × 10−6 and ~1.7 cm−1 for PSK 53, ~5.1 × 10−1 and ~1.4 cm−1 for FK 50, and ~6.0 × 10−6 and ~1.0 cm−1 for SF 8. A change in the absorption coefficient of the optical glass KzFS 5 of ~0.52 cm−1 was measured. Changes induced in an SiO2 (Suprasil 2B) control sample were below measurement capability.
