The response to ionizing radiation of a suite of high-purity silicas, a titanium-doped silica, high-purity germania, and silica fibers with germanium-doped and titanium-doped cores has been measured. The radiation sensitivity of these materials was found to depend upon the atmosphere used during a heat treatment prior to irradiation.
