Four aluminum‐jacketed, fluorine‐doped silica clad optical fibers with silica core materials fabricated by differing technologies were subjected to sequential 60Co‐γ ray and fission‐reactor irradiations (at ∼20 and 40 °C, respectively), an intervening isothermal anneal (∼20 °C), and a final isochronal anneal (to 600 °C) while monitoring the radiation‐induced absorption spectra in the range ∼400–1000 nm. The two low‐OH/low‐chloride core fibers (one of which was doped with 0.5 mass % fluorine) both developed bands at 660 and 760 nm which exceeded 10 000 dB/km for doses in the range ∼102–106 Gy(Si); however, these bands declined to <1000 dB/km by the end of the γ‐irradiation phase [12 MGy(Si) at 5.6 Gy(Si)/s]. All fibers displayed an ‘‘UV band tail,’’ which was the strongest in the high‐chloride core fiber, as well as bands in the range ∼600–630 nm generally attributed to nonbridging‐oxygen hole centers (NBOHCs). During the γ‐irradiation phase the strengths of the NBOHC bands proved to be strongly dependent ...
