Abstract

We investigate the possible use as on-line dosimeters of commercially-available PMMA plastic optical fibres. The dose measurement is derived from the radiation-induced attenuation. A novel interrogation scheme based on a ratiometric technique is proposed for real-time dosimetry applications.
