Popis: Stable optical centres production under 10 MeV electron irradiation were investigated in three types of commercial silica glasses with different concentrations of the OH-group in the range 10 −2 –10 −4 %. The dependencies of absorption coefficient at wavelength 215 nm (α 215 ) on absorbed dose show the saturation at doses ⩾ 2 MGy for glasses with high concentrations of the OH-group. At a fixed dose of 0.56 MGy measurements of α 215 dependencies at temperature 310 K on electron pulse repetition rate ( f ) gives a substantial increase of efficiency of defects production at high value of f , that indicates the existence of transition effects in the time interval (Δτ) between electron pulses with a life time in ms range. Measured dependencies α 215 = f (Δτ) at temperatures 520 and 620 K show the intensification of radiation annealing process, that leads to very low efficiency of stable defect production at high electron pulse repetition rate.
