Technical, Economic Assessment of Efforts to Advance Glassmelting
Practices
Business and technical leaders in the glass industry must develop a common view
of the forces that must drive the industry in the future and increase cooperation
on the highest priority challenges if glass is to survive as a vital industry
of the future in the United States.

Advances in LAS-Glass-Ceramics Wolfgang
Pannhorst
Schott Glas, Mainz, Germany
Raman spectroscopy is an effective tool to quantitatively describe the nucleation
of model compositions of LAS low-expansion glass-ceramics that continue to form
the dominant composition family for glass-ceramics products, including cooktop
panels, telescope mirror substrates and microlithographics and beamers. View Article

Fabrication of Waveguides in Sputtered Films of GeAsSe Glass D.A. Turnbull,
J.S. Sanghera, V.Q. Nguyen and I.D. Aggarwal
Naval Research Lab, Washington
Fabricated and characterized Ge5As34Se61 glass
waveguides had measured losses of 6.9 to 11.2 dB/cm that did not appear to be
strongly dependent on the waveguide width but on scattering from microcracks
at the glass/substrate interface. View Article
