Abstract
It is shown experimentally that in photo-thermo-refractive glasses the transformation of charged silver subnanosized molecular clusters to neutral state by UV irradiation results in the increase of glass refractive index. Quantum chemistry calculations suggest that such refractive index change is mainly dominated by silver neutral cluster polarizability. In addition to discussion of proposed mechanism, the examples of possible applications are also presented.
