Abstract

Purpose. Analysis of the measuring methods and structures of the sensors of absorbed dose of ionizing radiation on the base of optical waveguide ring resonators.

Methods. The general methodology of the work included the use of theoretical research methods (analysis, synthesis, comparison).

Findings. The effect of ionizing radiation on waveguide microring resonators are analysed. The possibility of its application as sensor of absorbed dose of ionizing radiation is estimated. It’s shown that the sensors comprising microring resonators on the base of silicon waveguides coated with fluoropolymer are the most prospective due to the higher sensitivity.

Application field of research. The results of review and analysis of the information about the methods of measurement of absorbed dose of ionizing radiation can serve as a basis for creating effective optical waveguide dosimeters with higher sensitivity with the use of optical waveguide ring resonators.
