Can I read Understanding Absorption in Fused Silica on EtoBox?

Understanding Absorption in Fused Silica by Shahid Hussain is a document available to read on EtoBox.

What is Understanding Absorption in Fused Silica about?

The document discusses different types of absorption that occur in fused silica including electronic absorption in the UV region due to the bandgap, molecular absorption in the infrared region due to vibrational modes, and extrinsic absorption from impurities like OH ions and metal ions. Absorption from OH ions is a major loss mechanism but windows exist around 1.3 and 1.55 microns with minimum attenuation.
