Abstract
A short discussion of recently reported radiation induced responses of Ti:LiNbO3 directional coupler waveguides and silica birefringent fibers is presented. Based on experimental data, a hypothesis is advanced wherein known photorefractive damage mechanisms in Ti:LiNbO3 guided wave devices may be enhanced by electron induced color centers. Nonequivalent transient absorption and recovery data for a proton irradiated single mode polarization preserving fiber is also presented. An explanation is offered to account for the transient absorption processes based on color center formation and nonequivalent alteration of the fiber birefringence.
