Patent number: 8312740Abstract: Disclosed are synthetic silica glass body with a birefringence pattern having low fast axis direction randomness factor and glass reflow process. The glass reflow process comprises steps of: providing a glass tube having a notch; and thermally reflowing the glass tube to form a glass plate. The process can be advantageously used to produce fused silica glass plate without observable striae when viewed in the direction of optical axis. Also disclosed are optical members comprising the fused silica glass body and a process for reflowing glass cylinders.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2008Date of Patent: November 20, 2012Assignee: Corning IncorporatedInventors: Steven Roy Burdette, Polly Wanda Chu, James Gerard Fagan, Thomas William Hobbs, Sumalee Likitvanichkul, Daniel Raymond Sempolinski, Terry Lee Taft, Michael John Walters
