Preparation and measurement ionizing radiation sensors with optical fibers

We present development and first measurement with new ionizing radiation sensors with silica optical fibers. Our research is focused to merge silica optical fibers and some scintillation materials. The ionizing radiation has a minimal effect to silica optical fibers in comparison with plastic optical fibers which are usually used to these measurements. In combination with the right scintillation materials we created first set-up of sensor to measurement beta and gamma radiation. Our sensors are prepared for the most types of scintillation materials structures. The structure can be in liquid, powdered or crystalline state. The advantages of each type of structure are presented with focus to type of ionizing radiation measurement.
