Abstract

The physicoсhemical transformation of a graphite coating on silica glass (fiber and plate), when heated in air by micrometer wave laser radiation with a power of several kW/cm2 with temperature up to 2500 K at which optical transmission increases from zero to 10% (UV range) and up to 40% (IR range), was detected. Based on a complex of the conducted studies, it was concluded that, along with elimination of part of absorbing species, the graphite powder of the coating as well as silicon dioxide and atmospheric oxygen present in its composition transform to others, transparent compounds: silica, silicon carbide SiC, and presumably (tri)(di)carbonates transparent in UV-VIS up to ~5 eV. Until recently, (tri)(di) carbonates of silicon were known mainly from theoretical works. The high-temperature coating consists of residual graphite, which allows laser heating, and C-O-Si compounds, including carcinogenic SiC at a level of ~2 10−6 mg.
