Title: Optical properties of glass

Book ·
OSTI ID:5773073

The author deals in depth with reflection, refraction, absorption, scatter, polarization, birefringence, and interference (the effects of the interaction of radiation with glass). The most significant optical phenomena have been approached from the points of view of theory, measurement, and the dependence of optical phenomena on the chemical composition, temperature, thermal history, etc. Attention is also given to the classification of glasses according to their optical properties, and chapters have been included on colour generation in glasses, modification of the optical properties of glasses by the application of coating, and glasses exhibiting special optical properties.
