Abstract

High purity silica (Spectrosil) samples were implanted with Ti, Cr, Mn, Fe and Cu at doses ranging from 1.0 to 5.0×1015 ions/cm2 at 160 keV and 2.6 μA/cm2. The optical absorption extinction coefficients per ion were measured from 1.8 to 6.0 eV. In all samples there was an increase in absorption over the unimplanted sample at energies ≥4.6 eV. The increase in absorption at 5.1 eV and 5.7 eV is attributed to B2(E”) centers and E’ centers respectively. The relative values of the extinction coefficients of these bands are attributed to the relative oxygen activities of the TMI relative to the SiO2 host substrate.
