Latest Patents

One of Jahn's latest patents involves the development of solarization and irradiation resistant optical glasses. This innovative glass is designed to exhibit minimal undesirable coloring while maintaining optimal properties. The unique composition of the silicate glass is free of alkaline earth metal oxides and incorporates cerium dioxide (CeO2) along with zinc and strontium ions in very small concentrations. These materials enhance the glass's resistance to solarization and irradiation while minimizing any unwanted coloration.

Another notable patent by Jahn describes glasses with a low non-linear refractive index for laser applications. This patent outlines glass composition ranges that allow for the introduction of laser activators into fluorphosphate glass with exceptionally high fluorine content. The resulting glasses exhibit high crystallization stability and can accommodate large melt volumes. The high fluorine content contributes to an exceptionally low nonlinear refractive index, making these glasses ideal for advanced laser technologies.
