Abstract

The radiation resistance effect of two superfluorescent fiber sources using Er-doped photonic crystal fiber is studied under 500 Gy gamma-ray irradiation. One is trimmed into a quasi-Gaussian spectrum by a filter and the other is not trimmed. The results show that the SFS with spectrum trimming has a smaller radiation induced attenuation and a higher mean wavelength stability (2.616 dB and 24.803 ppm) than that of the SFS without spectrum trimming (3.187 dB and 611.766 ppm). Therefore, this method has practical use for improving radiation resistance in space environment.
