K. Awazu et H. Onuki, IN-SITU MEASUREMENT OF OPTICAL-ABSORPTION IN SILICA GLASS DURING THE IRRADIATION OF VACUUM-ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT, Nippon Seramikkusu Kyokai gakujutsu ronbunshi, 102(10), 1994, pp. 961-965
In-situ measurements of optical absorption in silica glass were carrie
d out under irradiation of VUV light using undulator radiation. Optica
l loss at 6.7 eV and 7.6 eV increased with increasing of total dosage.
It was also observed that the increase in the optical loss depends on
the preparation method of silica glass. Optical loss caused by the VU
V irradiation was restricted in silica glass having fluorine and OH gr
oups.
