    Abstract: There is disclosed a metallic clad glass fiber optical waveguide suitable for use as a high-strength optical transmission line, e.g., for high capacity communications systems and for sensors operating at high temperature. At least two metallic claddings or coatings are formed on the glass waveguide structure, which comprises a core and glass cladding, by coating the glass fiber with at least one of the metallic coatings as it emerges from the furnace with a metal or alloy. The first metal or alloy employed is one that is substantially chemically inert with respect to the material comprising the glass fiber at the deposition temperature during coating of the metal or alloy onto the glass fiber. The second metallic coating may be of the same composition as the first, in order to repair pinholes or to increase the thickness. Alternatively, the second metallic coating may be of a different composition than the first in order to provide the waveguide with mechanical properties that are different than either layer alone could provide. Specific electrical and magnetic properties may also be provided. The metallic coatings prevent chemical or mechanical damage to the glass surface. A plastic coating is optionally provided for additional protection of the metallic surface.

    Abstract: A method of increasing the rate of production (throughput) of flat glass, particularly sheet glass manufactured by the Pittsburgh -Process, and float glass manufactured by the Float Process is disclosed. -The method involves altering the standard commercial sheet glass formulations -of the Pittsburgh Process and of the Float Process to give a lower -SiO2 and CaO containing glass which has a higher Na2O content. The new -glass composition melts and fines at lower temperatures and is a surprisingly -more soluble composition for the batch sand which makes the glass composition -faster melting. The new glass requires less salt cake for melting and -fining than conventional sheet and float glass and also retains a higher -percentage of SO3 during melting and refining in the glass than either -conventional sheet and float glass. These factors significantly reduce -the pollution hazards associated with gaseous and particulate sulfur emissions. Further, since the glass is faster melting, it helps reduce -particulate emissions due to dusting. Further, the new glass has a lower -liquidus temperature, a wider working range, can be attenuated over a wider -temperature range, and is easier to cut. Flat glass articles of the -new composition can be both thermally and chemically tempered at faster -rates. These improved properties all contribute to high throughput conditions. Although the new glass can be made at higher production -rates, commercially desirable properties, such as chemical durability, -are as good as commercially available sheet and float glass.
