Abstract

Abstract Targeting the improved performance and the potential implementation in terrestrial and space applications, radiation hardening of bismuth/erbium co-doped optical fiber (BEDF) by hydrogen loading has been investigated. It is evident that gamma radiation induced absorptions (RIAs) exist in BEDFs with and without H 2 loaded. Thereinto, RIA of BEDF with H 2 loaded is greatly suppressed. Particularly, RIA of H 2 loaded BEDF at 620 nm is over 40 dB/m lower than that of BEDF without H 2 loaded after 35.6 Gy gamma irradiation. Due to the RIA, the bismuth active center (BAC) emission spectra of all irradiated BEDFs are reduced. But the decrement of H 2 loaded BEDF is ~1 dB less than that of the counterpart. Although the change of the BAC-Si concentration by gamma radiation is unnoticeable via the comparison of the absorption and emission spectra, the results in this work demonstrate that H 2 loading is an effective radiation hardening method for potential applications of bismuth doped optical fiber (BDF) and BEDF in radiative environment.
