Abstract
This paper is a brief overview of the effects of radiation on transparent optical components. The results of extensive measurements on ten commonly used optical glasses are reviewed and related to the performance of optical systems in radiation environments. Physical models and formula which describe the response of these materials to radiation are discussed. Simplified test procedures that will adequately parameterize the growth and bleaching of radiation darkening are outlined. Radioluminescence efficiency in glass is discussed.© (1978) COPYRIGHT SPIE--The International Society for Optical Engineering. Downloading of the abstract is permitted for personal use only.Keywords
