Abstract
Herein provided is a radiation dosimeter and associated systems and methods. The radiation dosimeter comprises a light source configured for producing an input optical signal; a resonant cavity coupled to the light source for receiving the input optical signal, the resonant cavity configured for containing a fluid and for producing an output optical signal from the input optical signal indicative of a radiation dose absorbed by the fluid; and a light detector coupled to the optical fiber for obtaining the output optical signal.

A radiation dosimeter, comprising:
- a light source configured for producing an input optical signal;
- a resonant cavity coupled to the light source for receiving the input optical signal, the resonant cavity configured for containing a fluid and for producing an output optical signal from the input optical signal indicative of a radiation dose absorbed by the fluid;
- and
- a light detector coupled to the resonant cavity for receiving the output optical signal.
A method for performing radiation dosimetry, comprising:
- emitting an input optical signal into a resonant cavity;
- obtaining, from the resonant cavity, an output optical signal, the resonant cavity configured for containing a fluid;
- and
- determining, based on the output optical signal, a radiation dose present in the fluid.
