Transient Color Centers in Fused Quartz

Abstract
Transient color centers, induced by pulses of uv light, have been observed in fused quartz. The absorption peaks appear to agree with the wavelengths of the weaker permanent coloration. The band at 3000 Å has a lifetime of 0.38 milliseconds; that at 5000 Å has a lifetime of about 12 sec.
