Infrared Transmitting Glass Ceramics A Review

The demand for infrared materials which exhibit higher performance is still growing.

Infrared transmitting glass ceramics a review.

Glasses as well as glass based ceramics offer the advantage of unique rheological properties. Qiao amy 2013 06 04 00 00 00 a large body of literature was reviewed with the aim of identifying binary and ternary systems for producing long wave infrared transmitting glass ceramics for window applications. The key factor for controlling the glass to crystal transformation in an infrared transmitting glass ceramic is in the selection of a suitable glass composition which must have the two following specificities. 27 28 table 1.

A large body of literature was reviewed with the aim of identifying binary and ternary systems for producing long wave infrared transmitting glass ceramics for window applications. A large body of literature was reviewed with the aim of identifying binary and ternary systems for producing long wave infrared transmitting glass ceramics for window applications. Some examples of infrared transmitting glasses. Transmission of infrared ir wavelengths is an important property for applications such as vision systems spectroscopy and defense related uses.

Both on the thermal and mechanical side as well as on the width of the optical window with an extension of the transparency towards the long wavelength region to satisfy the requirements of space applications. A review mccloy john s. Depending on the wavelengths being used a number of glass materials can be considered. First when heated above t g this glass has to precipitate nanosize particles and avoids a fast growth of each individual nano crystal.

A review infrared transmitting glass ceramics. Known optical and physical property data was summarized for many ternary sulfides as well as their constituent binary sulfides. Applications for infrared ir transmitting glass ceramics have included far infrared fibers 21 scintillators 22 24 nonlinear optical devices 25 26 and bulk optics.
