The present invention is concerned with the production of sodium and/or potassium hydrosilicate glass bodies. The basis of the invention resides in the hydration of anhydrous sodium and/or potassium silicate glass bodies in aqueous alcohol solutions to impart enhanced mechanical strength and thermoplastic properties thereto. The hydrating process, which permits close control to be maintained over the water content absorbed in the glass, can be carried out in liquid solutions of water and relatively short chain, i. e. up to about five carbon atoms, aliphatic alcohols or in gaseous atmospheres of such solutions. An ion exchange reaction of Li. sup. + ions or protons with Na. sup. + and/or K. sup. + ions can be promoted at temperatures above the transformation range of the hydrated glass, and an exchange of K. sup. + ions for Na. sup.

The present invention is directed to the preparation of hydrated glasses in the Na. sub. 2 O-K. sub. 2 O-PbO-SiO. sub. 2 base composition system containing an amount of BaO and/or Y. sub. 2 O. sub. 3 and/or ZnO and/or ZrO. sub. 2 effective to cause the hydrated glass to be essentially colorless. Such glasses are transparent, exhibit refractive indices higher than 1. 60, and which demonstrate intrinsic thermoplastic properties thereby enabling such to be readily molded into optical quality components at relatively low temperatures. The operable glasses in the anhydrous state consist essentially, in mole percent on the oxide basis, of 8-18% Na. sub. 2 O, 2-6% K. sub. 2 O, 10-23% Na. sub. 2 O + K. sub. 2 O, >15 but <21% PbO, 55-67% SiO. sub. 2, the mole ratio PbO:SiO. sub.

Disclosed is a method of forming a doped glass body. The glass body is formed by adding a dopant to a glass preform, at least part of which has interconnective pores. The porous preform is immersed in a solution of a salt of the dopant dissolved in an organic solvent having no OH groups. The solvent is removed, and the porous glass preform is heat treated to consolidate it into a non-porous glassy body containing the dopant dispersed throughout at least a portion of the body. An OH-free solvent is selected because of its beneficial effect on the preform during the drying step. Whereas OH-containing solvents such as water and alcohol caused cracking and/or flaking of the outer surface of the porous preform following the drying step, an undamaged surface is formed by the present invention.

This invention is directed to the production of transparent glasses exhibiting transmission far into the infrared regime of the radiation spectrum. The glasses consist essentially, in mole percent, of 42-55% CdF. sub. 2 and/or CdCl. sub. 2, 30-40% NaF and/or NaCl, 2-20% total of BaF. sub. 2 and/or BaCl. sub. 2 +KF and/or KCl, consisting of 0-15% BaF. sub. 2 and/or BaCl. sub. 2 and 0-7% KF and/or KCl, 1-12% total of at least one stabilizing metal halide selected from the group LiX, BeX. sub. 2, MgX. sub. 2, MnX. sub. 2, PbX. sub. 2, TlX, COX. sub. 2, and ZnX. sub. 2, and 0,005-0. 5% REX. sub. 3, wherein Re is at least one rare earth metal selected from the lanthanide series of rare earth metals and X is at least one halide selected from the group consisting of fluoride, chloride, and bromide. The preferred glasses contain at least 2% each of BaF. sub. 2 and/or BaCl. sub.

The present invention relates to a method for hydrating fine-dimensioned alkali metal-containing silicate glass bodies so as to impart the property of thermoplasticity thereto. More particularly, this invention contemplates contacting fine-dimensioned alkali metal silicate glass bodies with an aqueous solution at elevated temperatures and pressures to develop at least a surface layer thereon having a water content ranging up to about 36% by weight, said aqueous solution having a pH less than 6 as measured at room temperature. The hydrated bodies can approach certain properties of high-polymer organic plastics and exhibit the capability of being thermoplastically formed at relatively low temperatures.

A package for a high power semiconductor laser comprising a hermetically sealed container filled with a dry gaseous medium containing oxygen. The presence of oxygen in the laser atmosphere is counter to standard practice in the art which teaches the use of an atmosphere of a dry inert gas. The package also includes a getter for organic impurities, e. g. , a getter composed of a porous silica or a zeolite. The hydrogen content of the materials used to form the package are reduced by baking at an elevated temperature for an extended period of time, e. g. , at 150. degree. C. for 200 hours.
