Abstract
Photosensitivity of Ge-doped SiO2 glass is closely related to defect format ion with ultraviolet photon irradiation. In the present paper, optical prop erties of Ge oxygen deficient centers, which are involved in the defect for mation, are reviewed. Furthermore, structures and generation mechanisms of the photo-induced defects are discussed.
