TY - JOUR A1 - Hertwig, Andreas A1 - Martin, Sven A1 - Krüger, Jörg A1 - Kautek, Wolfgang T1 - Surface damage and color centers generated by femtosecond pulses in borosilicate glass and silica JF - Applied physics A N2 - Color center generation by femtosecond laser pulses (30 fs) is observed in a fluence range below the damage threshold in an alkali-free barium borosilicate (BBS) glass, and in a thin layer of SiO2 on a fused silica substrate. The color centers are characterized spectroscopically. The optical density of the color centers in BBS glass is by two orders of magnitude higher than that in silica. A healing process with a time constant of about 30 h can be found.
