Abstract:
An optical waveguide comprising a silica structure and a number of radiation shielding dopant atoms. At least some of the radiation shielding dopant atoms are chemically bonded with at least some of the constituents of silica structure. As such, the radiation shielding dopants are fixed within the silica structure to shield the optical waveguide from at least one of alpha-, beta-, gamma-, x-, and neutron-radiation.
