Abstract :
The observation is reported of a strong negative change in the refractive index of tin-doped thin silica films deposited by helicon activated reactive evaporation. Samples with concentrations between 5 and 25 mol% SnO2 were exposed to 2 kJ/cm2 of 248 nm UV radiation. Negative refractive index changes as large as -2.7×10-3 were observed on irradiation
