Abstract
Establishing a database for assessment of radiation impact on spectral transmission of optical glasses requires addressing several critical theoretical issues and a very significant amount of experimental work. We use BK7 glass as an example to demonstrate our approach to the problem. A sequence of transmission spectra is required to find the parameterization set. Taking into account the number of optical glasses used in space optical instruments, it is proposed that the first step towards a useful radiation effects database consists of the elaboration of a uniformly applicable methodology for testing of optical glasses. We believe we have taken such a significant step in this work.
