Sglavo Y1 - 2018-06-06 PY - 2018 T1 - Optical Glass: A High-Tech Base Material as Key Enabler for Photonics N2 - In this book, some recent advances in glass science and technology are collected. In the first part, the structure and crystallization of innovative glass compositions are analysed. In the second part, innovative applications are described from the use of glass in optical devices and lasers to fibres in composites, micropatterned components in sensors and microdevices, beads in building walls and sealing in solid oxide fuel cells.
