Patent number: 8361917Abstract: The invention relates to aluminoborosilicate-based glasses suitable for use as a solid laser medium. In particular, these aluminoborosilicate-based laser glasses exhibit broad emission bandwidths of rare earth lasing ions. Although not entirely understood, the broadening of the emission bandwidth is believed to be achieved by the presence of significant amounts of lanthanide ions in the glass matrix. In addition, because of the high values of Young's modulus, fracture toughness and hardness, the rare earth aluminoborosilicate glass system according to the invention is also suitable as transparent armor window material.Type: GrantFiled: August 5, 2010Date of Patent: January 29, 2013Assignee: Schott CorporationInventors: Hong Li, Carsten Weinhold

Patent number: 7827822Abstract: The invention relates to a process and apparatus for forming a particulate composition, especially a particle glass composition, through the use of shock waves. A nozzle element is utilized having inlets for introduction of cold and heated gas and a delivery tube for introducing molten material. Through the introduction of the cold and heated gases, droplets are formed from a molten stream, a cone-shaped standing shock wave is formed, and shock waves are formed via a modified Hartmann-Sprenger chamber, the shock waves impinging on the droplet stream to break up the larger droplets.Type: GrantFiled: July 25, 2007Date of Patent: November 9, 2010Assignee: Schott CorporationInventors: Carsten Weinhold, David John Yuhas

Patent number: 7700510Abstract: The opto-ceramics and optical elements of the present invention are transmissive to visible light and/or to infrared radiation. They consist of a crystal combination in which individual crystallites have a cubic structure of the type Y2O3 and are made from In2O3 or a mixture of oxides of the type X2O3 in which X=Y, Lu, Sc, Yb, In, Gd, or La. Also mixtures of X2O3 with oxides having different stoichiometries, such as zirconium and hafnium oxide, are possible, as long as the cubic structure of the opto-ceramic is maintained. The optical elements prepared from the opto-ceramics are particularly suitable for mapping optics, such as objectives having reduced chromatic aberrations, in particular with approximately apochromatic mapping behavior. The optical elements of the present invention may be used in lens systems in combination with lenses of glass, but also with other ceramic lenses.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 2007Date of Patent: April 20, 2010Assignee: Schott AGInventors: Guenther Kron, Ulrich Peuchert, Joseph S. Hayden, Carsten Weinhold, Yvonne Menke, Yoshio Okano
