ABSTRACT:
A silicate optical glass article is made by forming a gel from a hydrolyzed silicon alkoxide. The resulting gel is molded, cured, dried, solvents removed, heated to form a dense glass having near net shape dimensions thereby reducing expensive polishing steps to obtain the desired final dimensions and surface quality.
