Abstract
The invention provides an optical device comprising a glass assembly unit. The glass assembly unit comprises two glass sheets and a plurality of aerogel sheets. The aerogel sheets are arranged in a tiled configuration between the two glass sheets so as to cover a majority of a unit area of the glass assembly unit. In some embodiments, the tiled configuration is characterized by each of the aerogel sheets being spaced from an adjacent one of the aerogel sheets by a gap distance of no greater than 5 mm. In other embodiments, the tiled configuration is characterized by each of the aerogel sheets being in edge-to-edge contact with at least one adjacent aerogel sheet.
