The influence of illumination and annealing on thin films of amorphous As2Se3and As2S3has been studied through their effects on the structure and optical properties. It is shown that the dominant photostructural change in evaporated films is the polymerization of the as-deposited molecular (As4S6or As4Se6) glass through either illumination or heating. This irreversible polymerization gives rise to a large absorption edge shift to smaller energy and to an appreciable index of refraction change. In addition there is a small reversible absorption edge shift, due presumably to trapping of photo-generated electrons and holes which is larger in As2S3than in As2Se3. This reversibility persists in both well-annealed evaporated films and in sputtered films which appear to be structurally indistinguishable both from each other and, aside from defects or voids, from the bulk glass. The reversible effect, called photo-darkening, is accompanied by a negligible refractive index change when compared with the irreversible polymerization change. The application of the present results to photochemical effects is discussed.
