Copper implantations (90 keV, 5{times}10{sup 16} ions/cm{sup 2}) were made into fused silica, borosilicate glasses and soda-lime glass. The copper distribution has been found to vary according to glass type. The optical absorption band characteristic of the implanted metal optical properties was observed only for copper-implanted fused silica. Absorption for all the other samples was either not observable or was negligibly small, however very small metallic particles are present also in soda-lime glass. Subsequent nitrogen implantation (100 keV, 1.5{times}10{sup 17} ions/cm{sup 2}) completely eliminated the copper-colloid induced absorption in the copper-implanted fused silica, while it facilitated formation of copper-colloids in soda-lime glass.
