Compositional Engineering For Heat Absorption Glasses For Surgical Lamps - Part Ii

In Part 1 of this article, the transmission properties of glasses were discussed and the importance of refractive index for better absorption was highlighted for conventional silicate glasses that are used as heat absorption glasses (HAG) in the infrared region, but having transparency in the visible wavelength. In Part II of the paper, compositional engineering will be examined, along with some experimental data for HAG, used as surgical lamps in operating theatres. Moreover, in Part II the melting procedure will also be discussed.
