Abstract

Metal colloids in glasses can yield an enhanced (χ((3)) susceptibility which leads to an intensity dependent refractive index. Ion implantation is a convenient means of introducing the metal species. The host glass plays an important role in colloid formation. We have characterized Ag-colloid formation in various silicate glasses and, in addition, have studied the formation of colloids in Ag-doped phosphate glass as a function of N and H implantation. Some preliminary results for Cu-implanted glasses are presented.
