Abstract

The changes in the visible light transmission of the optical porous glasses (PGs), arising from PGs thermal treatment, have been investigated by transmission electron microscopy and optical spectroscopy technique. Also the PGs thermal properties such as linear shrinkage and viscosity have been studied. These PGs are used in optics and laser technology as the base for the micro- optical elements produced by a local laser sintering of PGs.
