Abstract
Systems and devices are provided that relate to a gas-filled radiation detector with an internal optical fiber. The internal optical fiber may detect photons emitted during ionization avalanche events triggered by incident radiation. Such a radiation detector may include a housing, a fill gas within the housing, and an optical fiber within the housing. The fill gas may interact with radiation through an ionization avalanche that produces light. The optical fiber within the housing may capture the light and transmit the light out of the housing.
