Abstract
A duplex plastic optical fiber may be used to create a dual detector system, which allows for the detection of two distinct areas of radiation in a single sensor cable device. A fiber cap holds a scintillating fiber and slides over an exposed portion of an optical fiber adjacent to an end of the optical fiber to create a concentric connection for a radiation sensor cable used in medical radiation therapy.
