摘要：

The aim of this work is to investigate the morphological effect of gamma irradiation on the acrylic based secondary coating surface, surrounding the cladding of the single mode optical fibers. 9 mu m optical fibers (high grade pure silica) with 125 mu m and 250 mu m cladding and secondary coating in diameter respectively, have been irradiated with Co-60 gamma rays at a dose rate of 15 kGy/hour. A few micron scale images of the secondary coating surface have been acquired by Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) after 28, 59, 100 kGy exposure. In comparison with the unirradiated surface, roughness was observed to increase considerably as the dose increased. The number and sizes of the morphological changes arising as irregular hill like structures were analyzed from the height profiles with hill to trough differences in the order of 120 nm.
