Optical and infrared reflection spectra for Bi implanted silica are reported as a function of dose and thermal annealing. A series of high purity silica samples were implanted with Bi ions at an energy of 350 KeV. Doses were 1 {times} 10{sub 16} and 1.0 {times} 10{sup 17} ions/cm{sup 2} at 5{mu}amps/cm{sup 2}. The samples were subsequently thermally annealed at 400, 600 and 800C. The optical absorption from 6.2 to 1.8 eV and infrared reflectance from 5000 to 450 cm{sup {minus}1} were measured before and after annealing. Effects of thermal annealing are strongly dependent on Bi content.
