The optical absorption of gamma - and fast-neutron-irradiated crystalline quartz and fused silica was measured from 186 m mu to 2.6 mu . Dichroism of the A-band was confirmed. The phenomenon of radiation bleaching of the B/sub 1/-band and a remarkable movement of the C-band were found. The irradiation and optical bleaching experiments showed that only the C-band is essential due to radiation, and this was considered to be caused by an absorption center similar to the F-center which changes F'- or colloidal-center with subsequent irradiation.
