Abstract
The nonlinear transmission properties of commercially available fused silica fibers have been determined as a function of excimer laser wavelength. Accurate two-photon absorption coefficients have been measured and the influence of color center formation is discussed. Two-photon absorption and color center formation dominate the ArF and KrF transmission at high intensities while both of these effects are negligible at the XeCl and XeF laser wavelengths.This publication has 14 references indexed in Scilit:
