Optical absorption characteristics of neutron irradiated heavy metal fluoride glasses.
Samples of ZBLA and HBLA glasses were subjected to various fluences of neutron irradiation, and the spectral dependence of optical absorption was measured before and after irradiation. The IR edge was found to be unaffected by neutron irradiation for the fluences used. However, a red shift occurred at the UV edge which slightly recovered after three weeks.
