摘要

Formation and destruction of silicon hydride (Si–H) groups in silica by F₂ laser irradiation and their vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) optical absorption was examined by infrared (IR) and VUV spectroscopy. Photoinduced creation of Si–H groups in H₂-impregnated oxygen deficient silica is accompanied by a growth of infrared absorption band at 2250 cm⁻¹ and by a strong increase of VUV transmission at 7.9 eV. Photolysis of Si–H groups by 7.9 eV photons in this glass was not detected when the irradiation was performed at temperature 80 K. However, a slight destruction of Si–H groups under 7.9 eV irradiation was observed at the room temperature. This finding gives a tentative estimate of VUV absorption cross section of Si–H groups at 7.9 eV as 4 × 10⁻²¹ cm², showing that Si–H groups do not strongly contribute to the absorption at the VUV fundamental absorption edge of silica glass.
