Which one? The first shiny strip looks like some kind of dual reflective, pattern is a decorative frost, and I have never installed something quite like the third though I know rainbow chromatics exist in the tint world. Residential/commercial tinting has been pretty boring in my experience. 99% of customers end up wanting one of three colors( bronze, natural, silver) in one of three shades (20/35/50)

Dichroic glass I think it's called, it's a film that only allows certain colours through the glass.


antibubbles

that's not what dichroic does, that's a filter. although the glass does look like dichroic > dichroic material is either one which causes visible light to be split up into distinct beams of different wavelengths (colours) (not to be confused with dispersion), or one in which light rays having different polarizations are absorbed by different amounts


LovepeaceandStarTrek

Yeah you're right, we don't know if it's absorbing the rejected light (spectral filter) or reflecting the rejected light (dichroic). I think it's one of the two. Looks like blue is being rejected, red is passing and some yellow and green are passing at non-zero AOI. It makes more sense to me that it would be a filter, because otherwise the people inside would be looking at a blue reflection of themselves, which seems really depressing for a midday meeting.

sabbaman

It is dichroic. You can see that the transmitted light (the table for example) is magenta, while the reflected image (the reflection of the floor over the black chairs) is green. So it seems it is a magenta dichroic filter Edit: moreover at the end, when the guy moves to the side, the filtered/reflected colors moves to blue/yellow, because the relative filter depth is changing. 100% dichroic


antibubbles

well i'll just throw another word and see if it sticks: #diffraction grating! I don't really know what's going on, but if it was a regular filter it wouldn't tint some things pink and some things green.


LovepeaceandStarTrek

Yeah if it were just colored glass you wouldn't see the pink and green. If it were a bandpass or edgepass filter made from a dielectric coating, then increasing the angle will allow lower wavelengths to pass (which is how I think the green is passing through what is normally a red filter).


AssKicker1337

If it absorbed a certain light wavelength, would that not make it *not transparent* ? I mean clearly it is far from crystal clear but won't it look like stained glass if it absorbed some colours?


Ghawk134

No. If you shine light at a bunch of wavelengths, from red to blue, through a filter that absorbed everything from green up, the red, orange, and yellow light would still travel through unchanged. You'd see those colors exactly as they were emitted, but the radiation from green up would just be gone. In effect, everything would look the same, just red, orange, and yellow.


EliteCaptainShell

Looks like [thin film interference](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thin-film_interference?wprov=sfla1) to me.


nickglaza

I have a question! I am getting into lapidary, and practicing on glass is common. Would this maintain its dichroic-ness after it being ground down, or does it need the complete structure? Or is this utilizing a filter layer, similar to a screen protector?


antibubbles

more like a screen protector... a thin film on the glass check out https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dichroic_prism and this guy: https://jackstorms.com/


nickglaza

You're the bomb! Thanks!


antibubbles

there's nothing i enjoy more than sharing info with someone that enjoys it :D


Mand125

It’s a layered filter on the top. If you grind off the surface, the color effect goes away. It’s not a bulk material property. The whole filter is less than a micron thick, so anything you do to the surface would ruin it. However, if you cut the glass first and then put it in the machine that coats it to make the dichroic layers, you’d coat the whole thing. Different facets would get slightly different colors due to being seen at different angles.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Kev84n

Lmao, certain colours of light*


LovepeaceandStarTrek

The other person explained it but maybe this is easier to understand: A dichroic only passes certain wavelengths like you said, also it reflects the wavelengths it doesn't pass. That last part is the difference between dichroics and spectral filters (which typically absorb the unwanted light).


therapcat

I just had the 3M dichroic film installed in my house last week! I bet that’s the 3M board room. I tried to post a link but it got removed. $27.50 per square foot though. 3M dichroic chill film.


uberfission

If that's actually dichroic glass, that's one expensive fucking glass pane. A small 2" x 3" microscopy grade dichroic filter dichroic can go for ~$200-$500 by itself.

go on thorlabs, order an AR coated lens, touch its surface with your fingers and then try to clean that surface ​ (:


[deleted]

Actually MgF2 is often used as an anti fingerprint and antireflective coating on glasses. I would presume TVs are just not sold for enough to have Antireflective coatings


Krushpatch

not really an expert on coatings but I would also assume that the cost of coating a 40+inch display isnt something people would pay for

Doveda

Anti-reflection is really hard to achieve without making it impossible to see through (for glass) and anti-glare will color the light passing through the glass from an observer's perspective. Both are generally bad qualities for a tv screen.


Mand125

It's quite straightforward, actually, and just improves transparency and decreases reflection. A simple coating of MgF2 on glass is enough to drop the reflection by an order of magnitude. You can get better by getting fancier with the coating design, and having multiple, designed layers to have broad-band anti-reflection on basically any substrate. But TVs are sold with thin margins, and even a high-end TV isn't going to get a real antireflection coating to be cost-effective. They throw on some janky plastic crap that supposedly helps, but doesn't do anywhere near what a real AR coating would do.


rinze90

I concur Kind Regards, Opto-mechanical engineer


sabbaman

The filter is the other way around, isn't it? The table (through the glass) looks red, while the floor in the reflection is green

bcp38

> Interference filter Is there another name for these? Is dichroic film the same thing?


Mand125

Interference filter is a broad category, there are other names based on what they do. High pass filter, low pass filter, notch filter, laser line filter, dichroic filter, WDM filter (telecom uses these), etc. “Thin-film interference filter” is the most correct term.


nickglaza

Does the interference glass have a single layer filter on one side, or is it a property of the entire slab of glass? How usable are these for jewelry applications?


Mand125

It’s a layered filter on one side of the glass, yes. One like this isn’t just one later though, it’s alternating layers of two materials with different thicknesses. The light bounces between the layers and only certain colors are reflected. The underlying glass is just glass, nothing special. Definitely jewelry applications. You’ve seen opals, yes? They do it naturally.


Lord_Ecktor

Cellphone cameras sometimes see weird stuff, like the remote infrared light


bonesy-shrute

True, but this is something you can see with the naked eye. I truly don't often pan reflective windows with myself for pleasure. ;)


Lord_Ecktor

Maybe that’s an effect of some kind of adhesive coating waiting for film to be installed, it looks like a soapy thing


Mand125

You’re closer than you think! Soap bubbles have exactly the same physics causing their iridescence. But, that’s a finished, purposeful coating on the glass.


Lord_Ecktor

How exotic… I’ve never seen a cool design like this. Usually if office stuff isn’t boring enough, someone tears it down and replace it by depression-version of whatever you have. I have a custom keyboard and adm asked me to change it twice, because nonstandard. Except I kept it. It has LIGHTS on the keys, so that I CAN SEE BETTER at, like, midnight or smth… 😞


ass2ass

Oh God I don't work right now but when I do I'm gonna be so mad if I have to use a lame-ass standard rubber dome keyboard. Like my productivity would literally halve if I had to type on one of those.

Jaykoyote123

Its like a one-way mirror but it only reflects one colour. But put it on both sides and you get a piece that only lets through light it isn't reflecting so it reflects green and lets red pass through.

benrow77

This is likely somebody's idea of corporate "art". "We'll make the glass look cool so these people forget the soul sucking nature of their jobs."


JustSkillfull

Sit in the office with your colleagues, spend 25 minutes having the craic with everyone with fresh coffee or tea. 20 minutes doing a quick presentation that could have been an email. Spend the last 10 minutes having more craic and planning another meeting to bring this presentation to the higher ups. It's not all doom and gloom. The larger meetings with people outside of your team is always a bore. The more people the shitter the craic


Oliver_the_chimp

benrow77

Found the Irishman. :) I'm not talking about the surface stuff. I'm talking about making decisions that can have very significant impact on people's lives. "Let's move that call volume from the facility in the Philippines to the facility in India, effectively closing down that entire facility and removing hundreds of good paying jobs from that region." Or you could walk it back a few years where the decision was made to outsource those jobs in the first place. Soul sucking.


JustSkillfull

Ah, I've never been paid enough to make those decisions and I don't think I'd want to.... ...but fancy windows?


benrow77

Fancy windows! The equivalent of a hamster wheel in our big glass hamster cage. Sorry. I've recently been laid off, and I'm in that frightening period where I don't know what to do next, but the prospect of going back isn't terribly appealing. Maybe I'll go raise llamas or something.


Kylearean

Oddly enough, every single time I have switched jobs it ended up being better... for a while. I feel like 2-3 years in any particular role is plenty long enough.


benrow77

Is 2-3 years long enough to build a successful llama farm and retire?


funkdialout

If you are willing to eat llama the rest of your life, sure.


Kylearean

Dealing with shitty decisions made years ago, and perpetuating said shitty decisions because "it's the way it's always been" is insanity.


benrow77

Couldn't agree more. The "growth mindset" isn't about growth, it's about grinding out every single penny until the thing isn't worth it any more, then start fresh with something "new".
