Transparent Ceramics: Magnesium Aluminate Spinel

Abstract

There is a need for high-strength, rugged materials that transmit in the visible and mid-infrared (0.4 to 5 microns) wavelength region. These materials are needed for applications requiring transparent armor, including next-generation high-speed missiles and pods, as well as protection against improvised explosive devices (IED).
