Photochromic Optical Filter Incorporating a Thermochromic Gate

An optical shutter device includes a temperature responsive gate and a photochromic attenuator arranged such that at low temperatures the device is largely transmissive to solar or other radiation within a given band of wavelengths and, at high temperatures, the device is largely nontransmissive whe...

Zusammenfassung:An optical shutter device includes a temperature responsive gate and a photochromic attenuator arranged such that at low temperatures the device is largely transmissive to solar or other radiation within a given band of wavelengths and, at high temperatures, the device is largely nontransmissive when a flux of trigger wavelengths is present and largely transmissive when a flux of trigger wavelengths is not present.
