    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.

    摘要: Monolithic beam-shaping optical systems and methods are disclosed for an optical coherence tomography (OCT) probe that includes a transparent cylindrical housing having asymmetric optical power. The system includes a transparent monolithic body having a folded optical axis and at least one alignment feature that supports the end of an optical fiber adjacent an angled planar end wall. The monolithic body also includes a total-internal reflection surface and a lens surface that define object and image planes. Light from the optical fiber end traverses the optical path, which includes the cylindrical housing residing between the lens surface and the image plane. Either the lens surface by itself or the lens surface and the reflective (eg, TIR) surface in combination are configured to substantially correct for the asymmetric optical power of the cylindrical housing, thereby forming a substantially rotationally symmetric image spot at the image plane.

    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.
