Abstract
The influence of gamma-irradiation on the optical properties of GexAs4.0S60 chalcogenide bulk glasses has been studied. The "gamma-darkening" effect h as been established after irradiation. The changes in the absorption coeffi cient have been connected with the network arrangement and the degree of di sorder in the different compositions of the chalcogenide glasses. It has be en found that the created changes in the optical properties relax with time in a way which is also composition-dependent. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B. V. All rights reserved.
