摘要
We report that the rate of excimer-laser-induced densification is a strong function of composition in the binary metal-oxide-silica system. The pulsed excimer-laser-induced densification rate is shown to increase with metal-oxide content. A good correlation was found between the densification rate and the relative softness of the glass, as indicated by the annealing temperature. : The densification rate for all the glasses was also found to be a strong function of the excimer-laser wavelength in the order 157 nm > 193 nm > 248 nm.
