Abstract

We present the results of our investigation of the change in the optical properties of silica, "suprasil", after keV through MeV implantation of copper, tin, silver and gold and after annealing. Suprasil, name brand of silica glass produced by Hereaus Amersil, which is chemically highly pure with well known optical properties. Both linear and nonlinear optical properties of the implanted silica were investigated before and after thermal annealing. All implants showed strong optical absorption bands in agreement with Mie theory. For implants with a measurable optical absorption band we used Doyle's theory and the full width half maximum of the absorption band to calculate the predicted size of the formed nanoclusters at various heat treatment temperatures. These results are compared with those obtained from direct observation using transmission electron microscopic techniques.
