Abstract

Methods and apparatus for obtaining a corrected digital mode spectrum for a chemically strengthened (CS) substrate having a curved surface are disclosed. The methods include digitally capturing transverse magnetic (TM) and transverse electric (TE) mode spectra of the CS substrate to form a digital mode spectrum image using an evanescent prism coupling system having a system calibration for measuring flat CS substrates. The method further includes establishing a calibration correction based on the difference in the digitally captured TM and TE mode spectra as compared to a reference TM and TE mode spectra for a reference CS substrate. The calibration correction is applied to the digital mode spectrum image to form the corrected digital mode spectrum image, which can be processed using the system calibration for measuring flat CS substrates to determine a refractive index profile and stress characteristics for the curved CS substrate.

Abstract

Methods for producing localized crystallization in a glass article may include depositing a nucleation catalyst onto at least a portion of a surface of the glass article to form an at least partially coated surface. The nucleation catalyst may be in a solution or in a slurry. The method may include heating the glass article to a nucleation temperature and holding the glass article at the nucleation temperature to form a locally crystallized glass article comprising a crystalline phase and a non-crystalline phase. One or more portions of the locally crystallized glass article adjacent to the nucleation catalyst may include the crystalline phase and a remainder of the locally crystallized glass article may include the non-crystalline phase. The method may also include cooling the locally crystallized glass article.
