For example, the color imparted by gold in Na-K-Ca-acetate glasses versus Li-Pb-acetate glasses changes from pink to purple, as the nature of the colloidal dispersion is affected by the structure of the acetate system.

The reliability of such components is crucial since survival times of up to 50 years are needed. The fiber strength that characterizes the mechanical reliability is determined by the distribution of intrinsic and extrinsic defects, called flaws. Intrinsic and extrinsic flaws are related to defects in the silica bond structure and surface microcracks due to fiber manufacturing, respectively. UV absorption in the fiber core creates new intrinsic defects leading to a core tension increase due to compaction of the glass structure [4]. In this paper we report on the mechanical reliability of fibers irradiated by UV light using the side exposure technique [5]. Homogeneous excimer laser irradiation reduces the mechanical resistance considerably depending on the fluence per pulse [6, 7] and the laser wavelength [8]. With increasing pulse energy density the mechanical resistance is lowered. In contrary, homogeneous CW irradiated fibers show almost the same fiber strength as compared with pristine fiber [9].","PeriodicalId":182420,"journal":{"name":"Bragg Gratings, Photosensitivity, and Poling in Glass Fibers and Waveguides: Applications and Fundamentals","volume":"586 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126891399","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Arsenic (S,Se)-based chalcogenide glasses also exhibit a wide variety of photostructural effects. Photostructural changes in amorphous chalcogenides are induced by exposing the material to near bandgap light. Such changes, among others, can be structural [1,2] (e.g. change in the density, photoexpansion) or optical [3] (e.g. photodarkening, refractive index change). Thin films of As-S-(Se) also exhibit photoinduced volume effects similar to those seen in bulk materials. This fact makes the application of the chalcogenide glass films to guided wave optical devices, very attractive. With suitable bandgap light exposure techniques, a variety of photoinduced integrated optical components can be patterned on thin films of chalcogenide glasses.","PeriodicalId":182420,"journal":{"name":"Bragg Gratings, Photosensitivity, and Poling in Glass Fibers and Waveguides: Applications and Fundamentals","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127603601","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
