Abstract
Ligth-induced changes in the optical properties of Ge-Te-In thin films have been studied. The refractive index, the absorption coefficient and the optical band gap of the films have been determined before and after exposure by analyzing the material's transmission spectrum. The thin film's nonuniform thickness was accounted for to accurately determine the optical constants. The variations in the optical parameters and bang gap are discussed due to glass structure reorganization after indium introduction..
