2. Manufacture of glass and optical fibers containing nanoparticles
There are various techniques for preparing glasses and optical fibers with nanoparticles. These can either be formed in the glass matrix during heat treatment, or added to the glass matrix. After briefly explaining how to prepare a glass and a fiber, we will describe the main techniques used recently to prepare glasses and fibers with nanoparticles.
2.1 Introduction to manufacturing processes
There are a number of techniques for making glass, the most widely used of which is the fusion-tempering method. This technique involves melting a powder mixture which, after homogenization, is tempered and finally annealed to eliminate residual stresses from the tempering process. This technique is mainly used to prepare glasses with low glass transition temperatures, and...
