What is Photochromic Glass?

Photochromic glass is a special type of glass material that changes color under external lighting conditions. It achieves the photochromic effect by doping specific compounds or adding layers in the glass.

The color change of the photochromic glass is due to the ability of certain compounds in the material to selectively absorb or scatter different wavelengths of light. When the material is illuminated, the absorption or scattering of light energy leads to a change in the energy level of electrons or a rearrangement of the distribution, resulting in a change in color.

Photochromic glass usually has the following characteristics:

Color reversibility: The color change of photochromic glass is usually reversible, that is, when the light is stopped or changed, the glass will return to its original color state.

Sensitivity to external light: Photochromic glass is very sensitive to parameters such as the intensity, wavelength, and direction of external light, so changes in lighting conditions can cause changes in the color of the glass.

Response speed: The color change of photochromic glass can occur in a very short time, usually in the range of milliseconds to seconds.

A variety of color options: By adjusting the compounds added to the glass or using different process methods, different color changing effects can be achieved, such as blue, green, purple, etc.

Photochromic glass has a wide range of applications. It is used to design decorations, building materials, smart windows, optics and optical display technology, among other things. The application of photochromic glass can be automatically adjusted or controlled based on changes in lighting conditions, providing advantages such as comfort, energy saving and privacy.

It should be noted that the specific working principle and implementation of photochromic glass will vary with different materials and designs. Therefore, in practical applications, it is necessary to select appropriate photochromic glass materials and processes according to specific needs.
