Glass optical fibers silicate glasses

Silicon is the most important constituent of igneous and many sedimentary rocks, occurring in combination with oxygen in feldspars, micas, quartz, sands and shales. The element is used in electronic devices, while silicon in combination with oxygen as silica and silicates finds application in concrete, bricks, pottery, enamels, glasses, optical fibers for telecommunications, and refractory (high-temperature resistant) materials. [Pg.6]

The mechanical properties of silicate- based glasses have been extensively studied due to their widespread use as containers, reinforcing fibers, and optical fibers. Consequently, there is a wealth of information on the influence of many variables on the mechanical properties of these glasses. We shall concentrate on (a) composition and temperature effects on modulus and strength and (b) an important method of strength enhancement in glass fibers. [Pg.440]

Neodymia-doped glasses have commercial applications as high-power laser systems and fiber-optic amplifiers [15,16]. Currently available laser glasses are low softening temperature silicates, phosphates, borates, and fluoroberyllates... [Pg.293]
