Abstract
The fused silica is the most spectroscopically investigated non-crystalline material. The main part of the practically used optical fibres are made from pure fused silica or fused silica based materials. Structured emission and excitation spectra for non-bridging oxygen centers were obtained and a model for electronic transitions in this defect center was put forward. Luminescence and absorption bands for twofold coordinated silicon were established and a model for electronic transitions was also put forward. The possibilities to use optical properties of these intrinsic defects for optoelectronics is estimated.
