ABSTRACT:
An optically activated bleaching process effective to permanently modify the color of surface-colored silver halide-containing photochromic glasses produced by thermal reduction treatments is described, wherein the glass is coincidentally exposed, for an effective time interval, to (i) a source of high energy light and (ii) a heat source. The process reduces the relatively strong absorption peaks characteristic of the initially colored glass, resulting in a permanent bleached appearance.
