Abstract
The spectral–luminescent properties of chromium-doped silica glass prepared by gas-phase plasma-chemical deposition are investigated. The absorption, photoluminescence, and EPR spectra are measured for bulk glass samples in the form of a core of optical fiber preforms. The influence of gamma irradiation and additional reducing thermochemical treatment on the spectral characteristics of the synthesized glasses is analyzed.
