Abstract:
Light polarizing glasses capable of reversible changing from the clear unpolarized to the darkened polarized state upon exposure to actinic radiation said glasses comprised of a silicate glass body having elongated silver halide particles incorporated therein, and to the method of making such glasses.
Abstract:
This invention relates to photochromic glass compositions containing about 10-50 percent by weight Ta2O5 which have refractive indices higher than about 1.52, and, preferably, higher than about 1.58, thereby rendering them especially suitable as a core glass in the production of photochromic optical fibers.
Abstract:
Compositions comprising sodium oxide and optionally other alkali metal oxides, a glass network-forming oxide such as SiO2 or GeO2, a modifying oxide such as Al2O3 or Ga2O3, a halogen such as Cl or F, and an electron donor constituent such as sulfur, selenium or tellurium, are melted to form glasses which may be reversibly photochromic, and are thermally crystallized to form glassceramics comprising sodalite or analogous crystal phases which are also reversibly photochromic. The glasses and glass-ceramics may also exhibit induced fluorescence in the activated (darkened) state.
