T. Miyoshi et al., Photodarkening and photobrightening in glasses doped with CdS and CdS(x)Sel(1-x) nanocrystals, JPN J A P 1, 39(11), 2000, pp. 6290-6292
The photobrightening of photodarkened CdS- and CdSxSe1-x-doped glasses has
been investigated with luminescence experiments. Photobrightening depends o
n the wavelength of laser light, and is observed in all samples investigate
d, when the wavelength of laser light is longer than that of the absorption
edge. Photobrightening is explained by considering the reexcitation of tra
pped electrons in glass.
