| Abstract: | The anti-radiation mechanism of polymeric plastic fiber is analyzed. The radiation characteristic of this type fiber is studied. Our experimental results indicate that under the low radiation dosage (below 1 kGy) the plastic optical fiber's transmission rate rises instead of descends while this type of fiber is radiated by γ ray, electron beam and proton beam respectively. After a period of time, it gradually reaches a constant value. But under the high radiation dosage (above 1 kGy) the fiber's transmission rate descends after radiation. Later, it gradually goes up to a constant value. |
