ABSTRACT:
Fused silica articles exhibiting improved internal transmission and decreased absorption change when irradiated with a laser when compared with fused silica articles containing lower levels of aluminum. The articles also exhibit induced transmission when irradiated with a laser. The articles also exhibit improved off-axis refractive index homogeneity.
