Description : Fabricated germanium (Ge)-doped optical fibre glow curve characteristics are investigated with respect to computed tomography (CT) dosimetry. The results indicate that electrons in P1 and P3 (6 mol% Ge-FF) are occupied at low energy traps while for P4, the electrons are trapped at a deeper energy level. The lowest PI value, indicative of the least number of electrons, is shown to be that of the deeper trap P4 for all energies investigated. This study provides support for the use of 6 mol% and 2.3 mol% preform fibres for CT dosimetry, each with similar kinetic parameters.
