Modeling and analyzing the temperature sensitivity of radiation-induced attenuation in a Ge-P co-doped fiber

A model for the temperature sensitivity of radiation-induced attenuation (RIA) is investigated. The RIA spectra in a germanium (Ge) and phosphorous (P) co-doped fiber ranging from 825 to 1600 nm at different temperatures are measured and decomposed according to the configurational coordinate model. It is found that there is a linear relationship between the parameters of the color center absorption band and temperature. The model is verified at 850, 1310, and 1550 nm by both simulation and experiment. This work will be useful to research on the applications of optical fiber sensors in a complicated space environment.
