Abstract:
Ultraviolet (UV) radiation in the UV-C and UV-B bands, which is particularly dangerous, is absorbed and filtered by quartz glass doped with between 0.065% and 3.25%, and preferably between 0.065% and 1.3%, by weight, of cerium metal, or cerium as such. Preferably, the cerium is added to quartz sand and/or rock crystal, in form of a fine-grained powder of up to 20 .mu.m grain size, in form of cerium aluminate (CeAlO.sub.3), present in up to about 5% by weight, and preferably up to about 2%, by weight, and melted together in a single step. The quartz glass so obtained is particularly suitable for a metal halide discharge lamp, e.g. as an outer envelope (1), or as the discharge vessel (27) itself, or for halogen incandescent lamps, to form the quartz-glass light bulb or an envelope therefor. A small quantity of titanium oxide, up to about 0.05%, may be added as a further doping agent to the melt to further improve the UV absorption in the B and C bands.
Abstract:
Rare earth element doped silica glass according to the invention is prepared by doping silica-based glass co-doped with a rare earth element and aluminum additionally with fluorine and has excellent physical properties including remarkable light emission characteristics and an excellent capability of being fused with other silica-based glass. Such doped silica glass provides high amplification gains and a wide wavelength bandwidth and therefore can be used as a material for manufacturing miniaturized optical devices. Particularly, since the manufacturing process adapted to produce rare earth element doped silica glass according to the invention does not involve crystallization that normally characterizes the type of doped silica glass under consideration, the obtained doped silica glass is transparent and totally free from air bubbles. As a method for manufacturing rare earth doped silica glass according to the invention combines means for producing articles made of porous glass and a solution impregnation method, it provides easy and effective means for manufacturing rare earth doped silica glass which is co-doped with both a rare earth element and aluminum and highly transparent and therefore can be used as a suitable material for active optical devices.

A novel method is proposed for the preparation of a transparent fused silica glass body co-doped with a rare earth element and aluminum each in a high uniformity of the dopant distribution. The method comprises the steps of: (a) flame-hydrolyzing a silicon compound and an aluminum compound in an oxyhydrogen flame to form a porous silicon oxide body containing aluminum; (b) soaking the porous body having a specified bulk density with a solution of a rare earth compound; (c) drying the solution-soaked porous body; and (d) sintering and vitrifying the dried porous body into a transparent glass body.

Abstract:
A preparation method of rare earth ions doped alkaline earth metal silicate luminescent glass is provided. The steps involve: step 1, mixing the source compounds of cerium, terbium and alkaline earth metals and putting the mixture into solvent to get a mixed solution; step 2, impregnating the nanometer pores glass with the mixed solution obtained in step 1; step 3: calcining the impregnated nanometer pores glass obtained in step 2 in a reducing atmosphere, cooling to room temperature, then obtaining the cerium and terbium co-doped alkaline earth metal silicate luminescent glass. Besides, the rare earth ions doped alkaline earth metal silicate luminescent glass prepared with aforesaid method is also provided. In the prepared luminescent glass, cerium ions can transmit absorbed energy to terbium ions under the excitation of UV light due to the co-doping of cerium ions. As a result, the said luminescent glass has higher luminous intensity than the glass only doped with terbium.

A high silica glass composition comprising about 82 to about 99.9999 wt. % SiO2 and from about 0.0001 to about 18 wt. % of at least one dopant selected from Al2O3, CeO2, TiO2, La2O3, Y2O3, Nd2O3, other rare earth oxides, and mixtures of two or more thereof. The glass composition has a working point temperature ranging from 600 to 2,000° C. These compositions exhibit stability similar to pure fused quartz, but have a moderate working temperature to enable cost effective fabrication of pharmaceutical packages. The glass is particularly useful as a packaging material for pharmaceutical applications, such as, for example pre-filled syringes, ampoules and vials.
