Abstract :
Summary form only given. We irradiated 3% GeO/sub 2/-97% SiO/sub 2/ glasses with 1-5 keV X-rays from a synchrotron radiation source. The samples were prepared by vapor-phase axial deposition and polished to a 0.2-mm thickness. We show the induced UV-VUV absorption in the sample after irradiation. The spectrum was obtained by subtracting the spectrum of the sample before irradiation from that after irradiation.
