Popis: CaF 2 crystals have been implanted with a variety of ions of widely different energies and mass. Effects have been monitored using optical absorption in the range 120-750 v nm. This includes the vacuum UV region. For 100 v keV ions (Al, Mg, Kr) we observe extrinsic colloid bands in the case of implanted metal ions at high fluences (10 17 v ions v cm 2 ) but no colour centres (F, F 2 etc). For GeV ions (U, Ni) we observe prominent absorption bands in the visible region at fluences of 10 12 v ions v cm m 2 attributed to extrinsic calcium colloids. New optical features are discussed including an absorption band near 185 v nm in the VUV and bands at 604 v nm and 672 v nm in the visible region.
