Abstract
Rare earth-doped glasses exhibit high initial photosensitivity but their response saturates at relatively modest values of (Delta) n (approximately 5 X 10-7), which greatly limits their usefulness for device applications. In the context of our model, saturation results from either exhaustion of photosensitive rare earth sites, trap sites, or through competition between two photon creation and one photon bleaching processes. In this paper we report the results of new experiments designed to further elucidate the photosensitivity process with specific emphasis on the saturation mechanisms(s). Based on these new experimental results we present a refinement of our earlier model.
