Title: Color centers produced by {gamma}-irradiation and seeding of samarium-, terbium-, and erbium-doped aluminosilicate optical fibers

Journal Article · · Glass Physics and Chemistry
OSTI ID:198129

The absorption spectra induced by {gamma}-irradiation and by the recording of writing the quadratic-susceptibility {chi}{sup (2)} gratings are obtained for the samarium-, terbium-, and erbium-doped aluminosilicate optical fibers. The nature of the color centers, which are responsible for microscopic changes in the glass structure, is investigated.
