Abstract: Methods and apparatus for adding metals such as aluminum to fused silica glass articles are disclosed. The methods and apparatus allow for controlled, low level addition of metals into fused silica glass articles. The fused silica glass articles containing added aluminum exhibit improved internal transmission and decreased absorption change when irradiated with a laser.
