Abstract：The structure changes of lead silicate glasses induced by UV laser irradiation were studied by UV-visible spectra and electron spin resonance (ESR). The Urbach energies of lead silicate glasses exposed to the 266 nm UV laser increased. This implied that the disorder of the lead silicate glasses was increased. The electron spin resonance experiments showed that the oxygen deficiency centers in lead silicate glass did not change to paramagnetic defects after exposure to 266 nm laser beam, and the absorption peak near 235 nm for lead silicate glass film did not change either. But this absorption peak was bleached after exposure to the 248 nm UV laser.
