Abstract: This invention is directed to transparent photochromic glasses that can darken to a comfort range, i.e., between about 35-60%, or to a dark range, i.e., below 35%, depending upon glass composition, and will exhibit a faded transmittance after five minutes' removal from actinic radiation higher than 70%. The base compositions of the glasses consist essentially, in weight percent, of about SiO2 46-60 MgO 0-3.5 B2O3 16-28 CaO 0-6 Al2O3 4-11 SrO 0-6 ZrO2 2-6 BaO 0-6 Al2O3+ZrO2 6-13 MgO+CaO+SrO+BaO 0-7 Li2O 2-5 P2O5 0-5 Na2O 0-4 TiO2 0-3 K2O 2.5-9 For a comfort glass the photochromic elements consist essentially, as analyzed, of Ag 0.13-0.18 Br 0.08-0.14 Cl 0.16-0.34 CuO 0.001-0.004 For a dark glass the photochromic elements consist essentially, as analyzed, of Ag 0.15-0.3 Br 0.07-0.14 Cl 0.2-0.45 CuO 0.004-0.016

Abstract: PCT No. PCT/US96/12916 Sec. 371 Date Feb. 13, 1998 Sec. 102(e) Date Feb. 13, 1998 PCT Filed Aug. 7, 1996 PCT Pub. No. WO97/09278 PCT Pub. Date Mar. 13, 1997The present invention relates to a method of making a rectangular bar have a gradient composition. In optical or ophthalmic applications, the gradient of composition ensures formation of a corresponding gradient of optical property, such as refractive index or optical density. The glass material is manufactured using a device containing several reservoirs, all designed to contain glass in the fluid state. According to the invention, the composition of the glass varies from one reservoir to the other so that the refractive indices, for example, of the three compositions are different, with an incremental progression. The fluid glass is deposited one composition on top of the next and then heated, creating a certain degree of interdiffusion between the layers. The glass is then heat-treated to create the desired property profile.

Abstract: The invention relates to a family of erbium-doped fluorophosphate glasses for use in optical signal amplification. The composition, based on 100 parts by weight, is constituted by: P2O5 15-40, A12O3 0-5, MgO 0-9, CaO 0-9, SrO 0-9, BaO 0-45, AlF3 5-25, MgF2 0-10, CaF2 0-25, SrF2 0-25, BaF2 0-20, KHF2 0-2, K2TiF6 0-2, with up to 10 parts by weight of erbium oxide. The glasses according to the present invention exhibit a high gain and a very flat spectrum over the 1550 nm bandwidth, as compared to the glasses of the figure. These glass compositions are particularly well suited for use in fiber or planar optical amplification in WDM and similar applications.
