Various metal ions were implanted to colorless synthetic quartz to doses of metal ions from 4×1016 to 5×1017 ions/cm2 with an energy of 20 KeV. The part of quartz implanted with Cu+ ions showed tint of light purple-red, while parts implanted with Fe+ ions or Nb+ ions showed yellowish brown or light blue, respectively, after annealing for 3 hours in air at 1000°C. Transparencies of the implanted sample in the visible range and the depth profile of Cu were measured.
