Electronic absorption and Raman resonance scattering of spectroscopically pure SiO2

An ultraviolet absorption, as well as Stokes and anti-Stokes Raman resonance scattering of spectroscopically pure SiO2 was investigated by flash photolysis technique. The whole spectrum of 'absorption and scattered bands' was recorded photographically in ultraviolet. A resonance absorption line was observed at 288.2 nm, without structure, while scattered lines were observed at 285-288.2 and 288.2-290 nm.
