US Patent:

6418261, Jul 9, 2002
Filed:

Jul 24, 2000
Appl. No.:

09/624306
Inventors:

Heather D. Boek - Corning NY
Patrick J. Cimo - Horseheads NY
Pushkar Tandon - Corning NY
Assignee:

Corning Incorporated - Corning NY
International Classification:

G02B 610
US Classification:

385129, 385131
Abstract:

An optical device is provided including a substrate having an underclad layer, a core layer, and a pair of overclad layers deposited thereon. The substrate has a first coefficient of thermal expansion. The underclad layer has a first index of refraction. The first overclad layer has an index of refraction which is approximately equal to the first index of refraction. The second overclad layer has a coefficient of thermal expansion which is greater than the first coefficient of thermal expansion.

US Patent:

6917740, Jul 12, 2005
Filed:

May 30, 2003
Appl. No.:

10/449969
Inventors:

Heather D. Boek - Corning NY, US
Michael T. Murtagh - Horseheads NY, US
Sabyasachi Sen - Painted Post NY, US
Assignee:

Corning Incorporated - Corning NY
International Classification:

G02B006/02
G02B006/22
US Classification:

385123, 385127, 385128
Abstract:

An optical fiber is disclosed in which the core region of the optical fiber is doped with Cl and F in order to reduce the viscosity mismatch between the core region and the adjacent cladding region. In one embodiment of the invention, the optical fiber is a single-mode step index optical fiber having a core region doped with Cl and F in an amount effective to produce a difference in temperature between the glass transition temperature of the core region and the glass transition temperature of the adjacent cladding region of less than about 200 C.

Appl. No.:

10/996507
Inventors:

Heather D Boek - Corning NY, US
Christine E Heckle - Horseheads NY, US
Johannes Moll - Corning NY, US
Charlene M Smith - Corning NY, US
Assignee:

Corning Incorporated - Corning NY
International Classification:

C03C 3/06
C03C 3/076
US Classification:

501 54, 501 53, 501 68, 428426
Abstract:

Disclosed is a synthetic silica glass optical material having high resistance to optical damage by ultraviolet radiation in the ultraviolet wavelength range, particularly in the wavelength region of less than about 250 nm and particularly, exhibiting a low laser induced density change. The synthetic silica glass optical material of the present invention contains at least about 0. 1 ppm of aluminum and Hconcentration levels greater than about 0. 5×10molecules/cm. Additionally, the synthetic silica optical material of the present invention exhibits an Hto Al ratio of greater than about 1. 2, as measured in ×10/cmmolecules Hper ppm Al.

US Patent:

8147632, Apr 3, 2012
Filed:

May 30, 2008
Appl. No.:

12/156202
Inventors:

Andrew Douglas Banks - Corning NY, US
Heather Debra Boek - Corning NY, US
Jason Arthur Howles - Corning NY, US
Assignee:

Corning Incorporated - Corning NY
International Classification:

C03B 29/00
C03C 27/00
H01J 9/26
US Classification:

156 8911, 156107, 65 336, 445 25
Abstract:

A method is described herein for controlling the oxygen level within an oven while sintering a frit to a glass plate where the sintered frit and glass plate are subsequently sealed to another glass plate to form a sealed glass package.
