  • Colored, dichroic, birefringent glass articles produced by optical alteration of additively-colored glasses containing silver and silver halides
    Patent number: 4125405
    Abstract: The absorptive and refractive properties of additively colored glasses containing an absorptive metallic silver phase and a separated silver halide phase are altered by irradiating the colored glasses with visible light. Polarization effects and multicolored images can be produced.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 5, 1976
    Date of Patent: November 14, 1978
    Assignee: Corning Glass Works
    Inventors: Roger J. Araujo, Nicholas F. Borrelli, Jan B. Chodak, George B. Hares, Gerald S. Meiling, Thomas P. Seward, III
  • Photochromic glasses exhibiting dichroism, birefringence and color adaptation
    Patent number: 4125404
    Abstract: Silver halide-containing photochromic glasses are rendered optically anisotropic by darkening with actinic radiation and irradiating with linearly polarized bleaching light. A photochromic glass so treated will be optically isotropic when it returns to the clear state, but may again become optically anisotropic when redarkened. Color adaptation results when darkened silver halide-containing photochromic glasses are irradiated with colored optical bleaching light.

  • Method of making metal oxide semiconductor structures using ion implantation
    Patent number: 4001048
    Abstract: Method for forming metal oxide semiconductor structure with a precisely controlled channel formed by a combination of diffusion and implantation through a common mask.

    Inventors: Gerald S. Meiling, Thomas P. Cauge
  • Sapphire growth from the melt using porous alumina raw batch material
    Patent number: 3998686
    Abstract: A method of growing sapphire crystals from the melt wherein a porous alumina raw material is used to replenish the melt during growth. The porous alumina is subjected to a high temperature, low pressure environment to remove adsorbed water and oxygen which, if allowed to enter the melt, would result in poor monocrystals. A sequence of steps is provided which allows a simultaneous outgassing of one charge of porous alumina and a continuous replenishing of the melt with porous alumina of a previously outgassed charge. The previously outgassed charge of alumina must be handled in a system devoid of water and oxygen to avoid readsorption of the impurities.
