Photosensitivity in tantalum doped silica optical fibres
Photodarkening and photoinduced index changes are reported for the first time to our knowledge in tantalum-doped silica optical fibers exposed to KrF excimer laser emission at 248nm. The UV absorption of the tantalum-doped preform features the tail of a strong absorption band below 200nm. The 248nm-...
