UV PHOTOINDUCED PHENOMENA IN OXIGEN-DEFICIENT SILICA GLASSES

  • Chapter
Defects in SiO2 and Related Dielectrics: Science and Technology

Part of the book series: NATO Science Series ((NAII,volume 2))

Abstract

Germanium and silicon oxygen deficient centers (GODC and SODC) play a basic role in the phenomenon of photosensitivity of silica glasses and silica optical fibers (see, for example [1-10]). In particular, the change of refractive index upon UV irradiation of germanosilicate fibers is the macroscopic manifestation of this phenomenon. The connection between the photosensitivity and ODC first proposed by Hand and Russel [1], is well confirmed in another works [7, 10].
