Photochemical hold burning of Sm(2+) in sodium borate glasses irradiated with femtosecond-laser pulses of 800nm wavelength was studied. It is proposed that the efficient photoionization hole burning is caused by the photostimulated recombination of the electron trapped by Sm(3+) with the oxygen hole centre.
