Embodiment

[0124] All glasses are made using laser grade ingredients and melted in a dry oxygen atmosphere with the aid of stirring using a platinum stirrer for uniformity. All glasses were cast into molds and properly annealed to remove stress as the liquid cools to an amorphous state. The resulting glass blank is shaped into the form required for use by equipment that provides the glass with various properties.

[0125] Tables 1A-1C list aluminate compositions according to the invention, and Table 3 lists sodium-silicate compositions according to the invention. The results of these property measurements and calculations are detailed in Tables 2A-2C for the aluminate glasses according to the invention and in Table 4 for the sodium-silicate glasses according to the invention.
