Abstract

A new method for recording images in alkali silicate glasses preliminarily subjected to ion exchange in a salt melt containing silver ions is proposed. The method is based on the process of glass poling followed by heat treatment in a hydrogen atmosphere. The use of the electrode (anode) with a relief surface pattern results in the formation of an amplitude imprint (image) of this pattern under the glass surface. A trial glass sample with the amplitude pattern of the surface relief of a coin has been produced.
