Paper Abstract
An optical fibre sensor for monitoring low dose radiation is presented. The sensor is based on a scintillation material
coated optical fibre, which emits visible light when exposed to low level ionising radiation. The incident level of ionising
radiation can be determined by analysing the observed emission spectra. The work presented reports on the design of the
sensor and the stability of the sensor during measurement of incident x-ray energy. Initial testing of the sensor at the
radiotherapy facility at the Galway Private Clinic is presented, demonstrating the suitability of such a sensor for a range
of radiotherapy dosimetry applications.
