Abstract (en)
[origin: WO9814409A1] A method of producing a polarizing glass article that exhibits a broad band of high contrast polarizing properties in the infrared region of the radiation spectrum, that is phase-separated or exhibits photochromic properties based on silver, copper, or copper-cadmium halide crystals or a combination thereof precipitated in the glass and having a size in the range of 200-5000 Angströms, and that has a surface layer containing elongated silver, copper, or copper cadmium metal particles, or a mixture of same, the method comprising the step of thermally forming and precipitating large halide crystals by subjecting the glass article to a time-temperature cycle in which the temperature is at least 75 DEG C above the glass softening point. The figure is a graphical representation of stress levels in psi versus center wavelengths (CWLs) in nm, where center wavelength is defined as the center of a given range of polarizing capability. Specifically, the stess levels required to achieve a given center wavelength is compared for two heat treatment cycles. The upper line (A) represents data for the standard heat treatment of polarizing glasses; 710 DEG C for 4 hours. Line (B) represents data for the new high temperature heat treatment of 750 DEG C for 8 hours.
