采用紫外-可见吸收光谱和电子自旋共振谱(ESR)对硅酸铅玻璃薄膜和体材料受紫外激光照射前后的结构变化进行了研究。研究发现:266nm的紫外激光照射硅酸铅玻璃体材料时,能使其Urbach能量增大,即玻璃结构的无序性增大。电子自旋共振谱研究表明,266nm激光照射不会在硅酸铅玻璃中产生顺磁缺陷中心,也不会对硅酸铅玻璃薄膜在235nm附近的吸收峰产生影响,但用248nm紫外激光照射则观察到了235nm吸收峰的光漂白现象。
The structure changes of lead silicate glasses induced by UV laser irradiation were studied by UV-visible spectra and electron spin resonance (ESR). The Urbach energies of lead silicate glasses exposed to the 266 nm UV laser increased. This implied that the disorder of the lead silicate glasses was increased. The electron spin resonance experiments showed that the oxygen deficiency centers in lead silicate glass did not change to paramagnetic defects after exposure to 266 nm laser beam, and the absorption peak near 235 nm for lead silicate glass film did not change either. But this absorption peak was bleached after exposure to the 248 nm UV laser.
