Abstract:
Methods of making a transparent glass-based article including at least two transparent glass-based substrates and a laser-induced bond therebetween. Methods include arranging the two transparent glass-based substrates relative to each other to form a contact area. Methods also include providing a laser beam contiguous the contact area to bond the two transparent glass-based substrates.
Abstract:
An optical fiber cable assembly includes an optical tracer fiber, an optical data transmission fiber, and a cable jacket. The optical tracer fiber defines a tracer scattering profile having a scattering loss of >15 dB/km at a tracer wavelength or wavelength range λT that lies in a visible spectrum. The optical tracer fiber is wound about a longitudinal axis of the optical fiber cable assembly and is either physically coupled to the cable jacket or contained within an inside diameter of the cable jacket. The cable jacket may be engineered to generate light at an optically visible shifted tracer wavelength or wavelength range λT* from visible light at the tracer wavelength or wavelength range λT. The cable jacket may include an optically reflective material such that a portion of dispersed visible light from the optical tracer is reflected by the optically reflective material of the cable jacket.

Abstract:
An optical fiber cable assembly is provided including a tracer light source and an optical tracer fiber physically coupled to or surrounded by the cable jacket and defining a tracer scattering profile comprising a relatively high scattering loss at a tracer wavelength or wavelength range λT such that light is dispersed from the optical tracer fiber along at least a portion of its length. At a bend radius of less than approximately 25 mm, the scattering profile of the optical tracer fiber generates dispersed light of a luminance that is at least about twice light generated in a zero-bend portion. The optical intensity of the tracer light source is sufficient for the luminance of the dispersed light at λT or λT* to be at least approximately 80 cd/m2 at bend radii of 20 mm and below.
