    摘要: A lighting unit includes a glass laminate structure including a base layer formed from a first glass composition with a refractive index nbase and a surface layer fused to a surface of the base layer and formed from a second glass composition with a refractive index nsurface. The surface layer includes a high refractive index region with a refractive index nhigh and a low refractive index region with a refractive index nlow. nbase and nsurface satisfy the equation |nsurface−nbase≥0.001, nhigh is greater than or equal to nbase 1, and nlow is less than nbase. The high refractive index region is optically coupled to the base layer such that at least a portion of light propagating through the base layer leaks out of the base layer and into the high refractive index region. A display device or a luminaire can include the lighting unit.

    摘要: A laminated glass article comprises a core layer comprising a core glass composition having an average core coefficient of thermal expansion (CTEcore) and a clad layer directly adjacent to the core layer and comprising a clad glass composition having an average clad coefficient of thermal expansion (CTEclad) that is less than the CTEcore such that the clad layer is in compression and the core layer is in tension. A compressive stress of the clad layer increases with increasing distance from the outer surface of the clad layer, transitions to a minimum tensile stress as a step-change at an interface region between the core layer and the clad layer, and a magnitude of the tensile stress increases continuously to a maximum tensile stress in the core layer. Other stress profiles, and methods of preparing laminated glass articles are also disclosed.

    摘要: An optical waveguide article includes a base layer formed from a first glass composition with a refractive index nbase and a surface layer fused to the base layer and formed from a second glass composition with a refractive index nsurface. A waveguide is disposed within the surface layer. nbase and nsurface satisfy the equation |nsurface−nbase|≥0.001. A method for forming an optical waveguide article includes forming a waveguide in a surface layer of a glass laminate structure including a base layer fused to the surface layer. The base layer is formed from a first glass composition with a refractive index nbase. The surface layer is formed from a second glass composition with a refractive index nsurface. nbase and nsurface satisfy the equation |nsurface−nbase|≥0.0001.
