This SBIR Phase I Award emphasizes research on the melting                      behavior of fused cristobalite using high-temperature                           differential thermal analysis and Raman spectroscopy.  The                      purpose of the research program is to enhance understanding of                  processing of fused cristobalite and to improve production                      processes for this material.                                                                                                                                    This new material has a higher melting temperature,higher                       hardness, higher index of refraction, and extended range of                     transparency in the infrared region of the spectrum than                        commercially available fused silica.  The material can be used                  for optical windows, mirror substrates, ultraviolet flashlamp                   envelopes, optical waveguide in the infrared.  Its resistance to                radiation damage makes it a candidate for optical applications in               outer space and nuclear reactors.
