摘要

This paper investigates the annealing of high-purity synthetic quartz glass at 250°C and an elevated pressure of 7 MPa in a molecular hydrogen atmosphere. The treatment increased transmittance at 190 nm by 2%. Absorption within the 238–254 nm range is attributed to electronic transitions of non-bridging oxygen hole centers (NBOHCs). These centers are passivated by atomic hydrogen, which forms stable Si–OH groups and consequently reduces absorption in the target spectral region. The formation of a characteristic absorption band at 4200–4100 cm–1, corresponding to molecular hydrogen dissolved in the quartz glass network, was confirmed by Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy.
