Specialty optical fibers doped with rare-earths such as Yb, and Tm are utilized for various applications from medical to high-power beam delivery for materials processing. Nevertheless, radiation-induced defects can occur due to irradiation, causing a degradation of beam quality. In this study, we utilize this type of degradation, referred to as radiation-induced attenuation, as an X-ray sensing and the conditions in the in-situ recovery of color centers. The experiments were conducted at hard X-ray beamline at BEATS, SESAME, using different monochromatic beams such as 10 keV and 20 keV, suggesting the origin of color centers playing role in the RIA and the sensing and recovery behavior that are related to the optical and morphological effects of the X-ray irradiation.
