Photoinduced processes in Sn-doped silica fiber-preforms

Effects induced by KrF ultraviolet excimer laser on Sn-doped silica fiber performs were analyzed by means of optical and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) techniques. Bond breaking in substitutional Sn sites was evidenced by the Sn-E EPR signal due to sp3 unpaired electrons in threefold coordina...

520 |a Effects induced by KrF ultraviolet excimer laser on Sn-doped silica fiber performs were analyzed by means of optical and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) techniques. Bond breaking in substitutional Sn sites was evidenced by the Sn-E EPR signal due to sp3 unpaired electrons in threefold coordinated Sn sites. Red photoluminescence excited at 633 nm, due to nonbridging-oxygen sites, was also observed after laser exposure. The intensity of this emission did not follow the Sn concentration profile, being observed at the core-cladding interface and in the core center. Birefringence data showed that these effects are accompanied by stress relief in the Sn-doped region. Different structural features of core and cladding were evidenced by micro-Raman measurements and related to the observed photosensitivity.
