This study is focused on energy response of Ge-doped silicon dioxide optical fiber subjected to photon irradiation. The TL responses for photon energies, ranging from 20 keV to 20MeV, were investigated as energy absorbed in the TL materials of Ge-doped silicon dioxide optical fiber. The simulation was performed using Monte Carlo N-particle transport code version 5 (MCNP5). The input parameters included in this study are source information, geometry specification, material information and tallies F6. Comparisons of energy response were done between simulation and previous results of experiments. A flat response can only be seen in the energy range of 200 keV to 10 MeV.
