Abstract

The problems of describing the behaviour of photochromic glasses by a rate equation are discussed. A rate equation considering both thermal and optical regeneration is derived from optical measurements. The stationary-state absorptivity of the glasses under the influence of optical bleaching of various strengths is measured and compared to theoretical predictions from the rate equation.
