Abstract

We have recently reported the formation of color centers in stabilized cubic zirconia (ZrO2, 18% Y2O3) by two‐photon absorption at 532 nm. Here we present the results of measurements of the transmission of the colored samples as a function of time at room temperature. The results are found to be in good agreement with theory that assumes the color centers diffuse out of the irradiated region. The initial distribution of centers is assumed to have a Gaussian profile. For this model, the diffusion equation was solved exactly and the diffusion constant obtained (∼3.4×10−8 cm2/s).
