A Minireview of the Natures of Radiation-Induced Point Defects in Pure and Doped Silica Glasses and Their Visible/Near-IR Absorption Bands, with Emphasis on Self-Trapped Holes and How They Can Be Controlled

Figure 7

Growth and radiation-stimulated destruction of optical bands sampled at 900 nm for an identical virgin pair of low-OH/low-Cl, aluminum-clad pure-silica-core (KS4V) optical fibers continuously subjected to two different γ-ray dose rates. Large hollow symbols link points on the two growth curves receiving equal accumulated doses. This is an adaptation of a figure in [48], where further information about the data collection and curve fitting can be found.
