Researchers of damage formation in processes in glass are directed on studying the interaction mechanisms of powerful impulses of penetrating laser radiation with materials for the purpose of improvement of optical components resistance. However, the processes of glass structure defects formation as local areas with low factor of visible light admittance can find application in a final glassware processing. Application of treatment modes, using these effects, allows: to increase art expression of decorative glassware for furnish of buildings interior; to solve some problems of manufacturing counter devices, and also indication devices of electronic instruments. Mathematical models of defect formation processes in optically transparent materials under an action of powerful pulses of laser radiation are necessary for development of control principles of glass treatment.
