Abstract:
Three types of fused silica with different OH and impurity content (KU1, KS-4V and Infrasil 301) have been irradiated with high energy ions: Si4+ (24.37MeV), O4+ (13.5MeV) and He+ (2.46MeV), at different fluences (from 5×1012 to 1.6×1015 ions/cm2). After ion implantation the optical absorption of the samples was measured at room temperature from vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) to near infrared (NIR). A saturation of the absorption spectra was observed in the samples implanted with Si and O when fluence increases, which indicates a defect density saturation with the ion fluence. A surface cracking was observed in all samples irradiated with Si and O ions at fluences (ion beam shutdown) corresponding to energy densities of irradiation between 1023eV/cm3 and 1024eV/cm3. No macroscopic cracks were detected at fluences for which an optical absorption saturation was reached.
