The transverse profile of the beam, its position, its centroid location, and its focus or flatness depend on the instrument operating conditions or on the beam exit setup. Proof-of-concept of a new type of charged particle beam diagnostics based on fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) was demonstrated. Its operating principle relies on the measurement of the peak wavelength changes for an array of FBG sensors as function of the temperature following the exposure to an electron beam. Periodically, the sensor irradiation is stopped and the FBG are force cooled to a reference temperature with which the temperature influencing each sensor during beam exposure is compared. Commercially available FBGs, and FBGs written in radiation resistant optical fibers, were tested under electron beam irradiation in order to study their possible use in this application.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s140915786","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,8,25]],"date-time":"2014-08-25T11:58:03Z","timestamp":1408967883000},"page":"15786-15801","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["An Electron Beam Profile Instrument Based on FBGs"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Dan","family":"Sporea","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"National Institute Laser, Plasma and Radiation Physics, 409 Atomi\u015ftilor St., M\u0103gurele, RO-077125, Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Andrei","family":"St\u0103nc\u0103lie","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Institute Laser, Plasma and Radiation Physics, 409 Atomi\u015ftilor St., M\u0103gurele, RO-077125, Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nicu","family":"Becherescu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Apel Laser, 15 Vintila Mih\u0103ilescu St., Bucharest, RO-060394, Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Martin","family":"Becker","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Leibniz Institute of Photonic Technology, Albert Einstein Str. 9, Jena 07745, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Manfred","family":"Rothhardt","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Leibniz Institute of Photonic Technology, Albert Einstein Str. 9, Jena 07745, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,8,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"186","DOI":"10.1016\/0168-583X(86)90085-6","article-title":"Multi-Faraday-cup-type beam profile monitoring system for a dual-beam irradiation facility","volume":"17","author":"Asano","year":"1986","journal-title":"Nucl.
