Abstract

H centers were produced in KCl and KBr by x-irradiation at temperatures near liquid helium. The symmetry of these centers was determined by observing the dichroism produced in the absorption band after bleaching with polarized H-band light. It was found that the optical dipole moment of the H center is parallel to 110. The polarized bleaching light tends to reorient the H centers as well as to bleach them. The oscillator strength of the H center was found to be greater than about 0.3 that of the F center in KCl and greater than about 0.5 that of the F center in KBr.
