ABSTRACT:
Tailored glass bodies (10) having a substantial change in index of refraction (a .DELTA.n of at least about 0.08 along an axis) are provided. The glass body is characterized by two substantially parallel surfaces, with one surface having a first composition (12t) and the other surface a second composition (12b). The composition of the glass body varies in some predetermined fashion between the two surfaces (12i1-12i8) to provide a predetermined graded index of refraction. A method is also provided to tailor the glass body so that the two compositions have one or more of the following properties substantially constant: thermal coefficient of expansion, glass fusion temperature, Abbe value, and density.
