Abstract

The absorptivity of OH in a sodium borosilicate glass has been determined. The method consisted of measuring the weight loss and the decrease in absorbance at 2825 nm after heat-treatment of polished slices of glass in a dry nitrogen atmosphere. The confusion in the literature involving “water” content and OH content of glasses is also discussed.
