Abstract:
It is to provide a method for removing a tin defect present on the surface of a glass substrate produced by a float process in a short time without the glass substrate surface being damaged regardless of the glass temperature.A method for removing a tin-containing foreign matter from the surface of glass, which comprises applying to the surface of a glass substrate produced by a float process a pulse laser beam having a transmittance of at least 70% through the glass substrate and having a pulse width, a wavelength and an energy density per unit area on the glass substrate surface which satisfy specific relations, to remove a tin-containing foreign matter present on the rear face opposite to the face irradiated with the pulse laser beam.

Abstract:
A method for producing active glass nanoparticles that exhibit upconversion is described. The method employs pulsed-laser ablation of an active glass substrate using, for example, a high repetition rate ultra-short pulse duration laser under normal atmospheric conditions or in a liquid environment.

Abstract:
A process for producing float glass for a glass substrate particularly for LCD or PDP, the process comprising continuously supplying molten glass on molten tin, stretching the molten glass to form a glass ribbon, and cutting the glass ribbon after it is separated from the molten tin, characterized in that the temperature T0 of the glass ribbon when it is separated from the molten tin is from (TG−50° C.) to (TG+30° C.), where TG is the glass transition point of the float glass.
