References

Are ANY of these references suitable as per WP:VERIFY?? The first one appears not, yet it is cited 21 times. From that site there are links to those horrible linkfarms. So I'm going to remove it soon... Donama (talk) 07:46, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

There seems to be seveval reference sources that back these sources up.

This example talks of S. Donald Stookey and his history at Corning.

This source gives further information on his biography.

This source talks of the relationship of Stookey to photosensitive glass. It also talks about the fact that these images are three-dimensional images embedded into the glass itself. It also says these images last as long as glass itself. It gives additional detail about photosensitive glass with a photo example in the book. The image is removed in this preview of the book because of copyright, but is in the book itself. That book is available at most large libraries and many Universities in the United States - probably also Australia (check WorldCat). It also says there are several examples of photosensitive glass colored images at the Henry Ford Museum in Detroit, Michigan.

This source shows an image fixed into photosensitive glass.

Handbook of Ceramics, Glasses, and Diamonds By Charles A. Harper in Chapter 5.20.8 gives detail on how photosensitive glasses works and how pictures are developed in these glasses. In Chapter 6.2.6 it speaks of the difference of photochromic glasses and photosensitive glasses. It also speaks of how permanent images are developed in photosensitive glasses using ultraviolet light and that these glasses use silver and gold. This backs up the sources I provided saying essentially the same thing, especially McGraw-Hill source.

Physics of Electronic Ceramics By L. L. Hench et al Chapter VII gives more detail on photosensitive glasses and its relationship to photochromic glasses.

Microoptics Technology By Nicholas F. Borrelli speaks of the optimal wavelength for exposure for excitation for developing the images is 307 nm to 337 nm, which backs up my source and statement of ...300-350 nm, with 320 nm being optimum.[4]

Introduction to glass science and technology By James E. Shelby on pages 218 - 219 explains the difference of photosensitive glasses and photochromic glasses. It gives in detail the physics behind how each work. They say gold and siver is used and that a permanent image occurs in photosensitive glasses when exposed to ultraviolet light, very similar to what the sources I provided say.

Explorations in Glass By S. Donald Stookey is an autobiography that explains photosensitive glass and photochromic glasses and CorningWare - all his inventions!

Journey to the Center of the Crystal Ball By Stanley Donald Stookey - another autobiography written in 1985 explaining his inventions, among them photosensitive glass.

When I look under Google Book Search searching "photosensitive glass" I get over a thousand books, many talking about Stookey in relation to his invention. Most say basically the same thing as the first reference, as well as all the other references already there. --Doug Coldwell ^talk 12:33, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

Photochromic glass

The reader of this article sees no mention of photochromic glass. Equally, the reader of Photochromic glass sees nothing about Photosensitive glass or about other smart glass technologies. That should be corrected by providing links to these articles. Plantsurfer 10:37, 28 October 2015 (UTC)

Photochromic glass actually has little relation to photosensitive glass. However,the main thrust of the article might be improved. With the pictures, the article emphaiszes the artistic uses of photosensitive glass where the main application currently is in manufacturing the substrates for genetic testing. A separate page on the photomachinable aspect rther than just discoloration might be in order. Norman Hairston (talk) 16:15, 24 September 2018 (UTC)
