A study of radiation tolerance in optical cements

We study the effect ionizing radiation has on light transmission in the wavelength range 190–1100 nm for a number of optically clear epoxies. We find that the transmittance of traditional, commercially available, optical epoxies show significant degradation for exposures of 1×10 12 MIPs/cm 2 . Degradation of light transmission progresses from the shortest wavelengths at low doses to longer wavelengths as the dose increases. In epoxy joints that are 0.1 mm thick, we observe that more than 5% of the light is lost for wavelengths less than 400 nm for traditional optical epoxies. Our studies have identified an optically clear epoxy that shows little degradation for radiation exposures up to 5.9× 10 14 MIPs/cm 2 (≈ 220 kGy).
