Abstract
The photosensitivity of glasses can be significantly enhanced by high-pressure low-temperature hydrogen loading prior to UV exposure. The chemical reactions that occur between hydrogen and glass under UV exposure are thus of primary importance for the understanding of the mechanisms of H2 photosensitivity enhancement.
