M. Douay et al., DENSIFICATION INVOLVED IN THE UV-BASED PHOTOSENSITIVITY OF SILICA GLASSES AND OPTICAL FIBERS, Journal of lightwave technology, 15(8), 1997, pp. 1329-1342
A comprehensive survey of photosensitivity in silica glasses and optic
al fiber is reviewed. Recent work on understanding the mechanisms cont
ributing to germanium or aluminum doped fiber photosensitivity is disc
ussed within the framework of photoelastic densification models.
