This study introduces a novel liquid-filled microstructured optical fiber (MOF) for x-ray detection. The developed theory and model show good agreement between absorbed x-rays and generated photons in the MOF.

Area of Science:

  • Optics
  • Photonics
  • X-ray detection

Background:

  • Microstructured optical fibers (MOFs) offer unique light manipulation properties.
  • X-ray detection often requires specialized and sensitive equipment.
  • Integrating MOFs with liquid filling presents new possibilities for sensing applications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a theoretical model for x-ray detection using liquid-filled MOFs.
  • To establish a relationship between absorbed x-ray photons and generated photons within the MOF.
  • To experimentally verify the theoretical predictions.

Main Methods:

  • Numerical analysis of photon transmission in geometric fiber optics.
  • Development of a theoretical model linking x-ray absorption to MOF photon generation.

  • Experimental measurements of photon quantities transmitted through the liquid-filled MOF.
  • Comparison of experimental data with theoretical calculations.

    • Main Results:

    • A geometric fiber optics theory for photon transmission in liquid-filled MOFs was established.
    • A model was developed to correlate absorbed x-ray photon characteristics with transmitted MOF photons.
    • Experimental photon quantities showed good qualitative agreement with calculated values.
    • Discrepancies between calculated and measured values were analyzed.

    Conclusions:

    • Liquid-filled MOFs show promise as a platform for x-ray detection.
    • The developed theoretical framework provides a basis for understanding MOF-based x-ray sensing.
    • Further refinement of the model is needed to account for observed differences between theory and experiment.
