A laboratory called Glass: Manipulating atoms and light

Seminars of the Institut de Physique de Nice,

Abstract:

The optical properties of glasses and glass-ceramics depend on the chemical properties of the atoms that make up the materials. Thus the physical and chemical concepts must advance together in order to develop new materials. Either for applications such as cellphones screens or for the preparation of optical fibers which are used as sensors or in the transmission of data, the choice of atoms is essential. This seminar intends to cover the basic concepts about the synthesis of optical glasses and glass ceramics and show how these materials continuously have changed the world over the last two thousand years. Advanced applications in optical and magneto optical domains will also be discussed.
