The process for obtaining coloring of the “copper ruby” type in thermochemical treatment of thermally polished glass with copper-containing reagents was examined. Data are reported on the effect of the compositions of the working solutions and process regimes on the character of the coloring and the spectral characteristics of the glasses. Formation of the diffusion layer and the effect of different factors on the quality of the “copper ruby” obtained were investigated, and practical recommendations were given on selecting the optimum coloring regimes.
