Transmissivities were measured and absorption coefficients derived for three types of fused quartz between room temperature and 1500 degrees C: GE uv Type 151 (0.21-2.0 mu), GE ir Type 105 (0.21-3.5 mu), and Corning Vycor ir glass No. 7905 (1.7-4.0 mu). Less extensive measurements were also performed with Corning uv Type 7940. The interval of virtual transparency (transmissivity greater, similar0.85) of each type between the ultraviolet and near-infrared was reduced by heating due to a shift in both the long-and short-wavelength absorption edges.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
