Abstract
Remote detection of radiation is a difficult problem due to the 1/r2 fall-off. Recent advances in polymer research and nanoscale fabrication methods along with advances in optical polarimetric remote sensing systems suggest a solution. The basic device uses a micro-wiregrid infrared polarizer fabricated in conductive polymer. When the polymer is exposed to hard radiation, its conductivity will be affected and the polarization properties of the device will change in a corresponding manner. This change in polarization properties can be determined by optically interrogating the device, possibly from a remote location. We will report on the development of a radiation-sensitive passive dosimeter polymer with very low optical visibility. Progress on material development, lithographic fabrication and optical characterization will be presented.
