    Abstract: A particle detection system includes a light source configured to emit a light beam into a cylindrical glass article when the cylindrical glass article is imaged by the glass particle detection system. The light beam is directed along a beam propagation axis that is perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the cylindrical glass article. The particle detection system further includes a first polarizer positioned between the light source and the cylindrical glass, a camera configured to capture an image of the light beam reflected from the cylindrical glass article, and an analyzer positioned between the cylindrical glass article and the camera. An optical axis of the camera is perpendicular to the beam propagation axis of the light source.

    Abstract: Methods of manufacturing a glass ribbon include moving a ribbon of glass-forming material along a travel path in a travel direction. Methods include sensing a thickness of the ribbon of glass-forming material at a plurality of locations of the ribbon of glass-forming material. Methods include identifying a location of the plurality of locations in which a corresponding thickness at the location exceeds a target thickness. Methods include correlating a rate of thickness change and a thickness difference between the corresponding thickness and the target thickness to a laser power. Methods include directing a laser beam at the laser power toward the ribbon of glass-forming material to decrease a viscosity at the location and attain the target thickness at the location.
