3D printing of optically transparent phosphate glass

Using a 3D printer based on the molten wire extrusion deposition process, researchers from group 3 “Chemistry and Photonics of Oxide and Fluoride Materials” from the ICMCB and the Bordeaux campus, have manufactured glasses of phosphate for optics with complex geometries and preserved photoluminescence properties, from glass filaments previously developed at the ICMCB…
