Raman Investigation of the Effects on Fused Silica Fibers

Abstract

Raman spectra have been obtained from fused silica optical fibers under high reversible torsion. These results are compared to Raman results from fused silica, irreversibly compacted to 90 kbar. An interpretation is presented which suggests a negative correlation between the mean Si-O-Si bridging angle and the mean Si-O distance, plus a negative correlation between the mean Si-O-Si bridging angle and the mean tilt angle between Si04 tetrahedra.
