31. ClearView Theater Projection Port Glass Windows 10/13/2015

    Today’s advanced optical technologies within projection port windows have become a necessity when using digital projectors. The purpose of projection port windows is to permit light, contrast, and color to be projected to the viewing screen with optimal quality. The ClearView^TM from Abrisa Technologies is a high-end projection port window glass designed to increase transmissivity and ensure a high quality, bright and sharp image. This application note discusses ClearView glass features, and the benefits of using it in IMAX Theaters, digital cinemas, 3D projection technology, home theaters, and museums.

32. Sight Glass Application Note 9/14/2015

    A sight glass is a visual observation window used to view or monitor liquid levels and flow within a tank, pipeline, or other pressure vessel. This app note discusses the characteristics of sight glasses, as well as how to choose the best substrate based on application requirements.

33. Can Machined Glass Be Strengthened? 10/23/2014

    Download this brief application note to learn more about tempered and heat strengthened glass, chemically strengthened soda glass, and high ion-exchange chemically strengthened thin glass, and the potential risks and feasibility of strengthening said glass.

34. Borosilicate Glass Comparison: Corning® Eagle XG®: vs. SCHOTT D263 10/21/2014

    Borosilicate glass is much more resistant to thermal shock than any common glass types. This application note provides information on the differentiating factors between two different types of this specialized glass.

35. Beam Splitter Coatings 4/5/2011

    Beam Splitter (BS) is a term used to describe various coatings which divide a beam of light into separate beams. Dichroic filters are often called beam splitters. In this section, we will be describing beam splitters that divide light at each wavelength of interest into two separate beams. These beam splitters are typically designed for an incident angle around 45 degrees from normal.

36. Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) & Index-Matched Indium Tin Oxide (IMITO)

    Transparent conductive coatings are very often used in electro-magnetic shielding, electrical heating, and cutting edge display applications. Abrisa Technologies uses the coating material Indium Tin oxide (ITO) which provides for excellent durable coatings. 

37. UV Blocking Glass Benefits For Dental Curing Lights

    Dental curing lights utilize coated glass filters, such as a UV blocking glass, to selectively emit specific bands of light. These curing lights are used to polymerize dental composites, sealants and cements that are often used to help repair or replace tooth material.

38. How To Protect Museum Quality Artwork With UV Blocking Glass

    UV Blocking Glass acts as a mirror with regard to ultraviolet light wavelengths (400nm and shorter). UV rays are one of the most significant sources of degradation in museum artwork. As such it is a problem that has prompted much consideration.

39. Using UV Blocking To Prevent Skin & Eye Damage From Entertainment Or Medical Lighting

    Throughout the past few decades, it has been established that people are being damaged by ultraviolet light from the sun, and so we are being encouraged by the medical industry to take protective measures to limit the effect the sun has on our skin and eyes. UV blocking glass is one such way we can protect ourselves from ultraviolet light damage as well as isolating UV light for specific uses.

40. Hot Mirrors Vs. Cold Mirrors

    Hot and cold mirrors “heat control filters” are types of dichroic filters used to remove unwanted energy from a light emitting source.
