Abstract

Summary form only given. Optical absorption spectra of BaF/sub 2/:Sr crystals were studied before and after electron beam irradiation, and the process of F-type center transformation was also analyzed based on the study of absorption spectra. The results showed that 1.5 and 1.8 MeV electron irradiation at the dose of 10/sup 15//spl sim/10/sup 16/ cm/sup -2/ induced F-H pairs, F centers and other centers perturbed by impurities in BaF/sub 2/:Sr crystals, It is suggested that F centers in the crystal can be transferred into F/sub /spl and//(Sr/sup 2+/) centers by He-Ne laser (wavelength: 632.5 nm) excitation, and this process can be reversed by Na light (wavelength: 589.0, 589.6 nm) excitation.
