Abstract

Effect of doping on the UV optical absorption in silica sol gel glasses is studied through investigating the variation of structure and photochemical transformation of oxygen deficient centers. Optical absorption spectra of silica and lithium, aluminum germano-silica sol gel glasses reveal a change in the structure with changing the concentration of complements, specifically transformation of oxygen deficient centers and formation of new centers. Photosensitive response in germano-silicate glasses is enhanced by lithium ions, which act efficiently as charge compensators. Improvement on the change of refractive index is shown in samples containing lithium.
