Optical and photonic glass. Technical properties

The book presents the technical characteristics of optical glass - the types of glass, their catalog data, construction, refractive and transmission properties and the effect on them of electric, magnetic, mechanical and laser high power. The groups of glass - filter, silica, halide, chalcogenide, technical and devitrification are discussed. Standardized criteria for assessing glass quality are presented. Much space has been devoted to fiber-optic and laser glasses, the phenomena of generation and transmission of signals in them, the use of various types of glasses in technology. The book is intended for students, research workers of: electronics, telecommunications, physics, chemistry, material engineering, mechatronics, etc., especially specialty: glass and ceramics, fiber optics, photonics and optics.
