... Radiation can cause a variety of effects in fiber lasers, including radiation-induced attenuation (RIA), radiation-induced scattering (RIS), and radiation-induced refractive index changes [5]. These effects can lead to a reduction in the laser's output power, changes in its spectral properties, and degradation of its optical components [6]. Overall, fiber lasers have great potential for use in radiation environments, but careful attention must be paid to their design and implementation to ensure that they can operate reliably in such harsh conditions. ...
