Dichroic is a term that refers to a coating on glass that was first developed for scientific applications such as lasers and space mirrors.
Vaporized metal oxides are deposited in very thin layers onto glass while inside a highly specialized vacuum chamber. The type of metal oxides used and the number of layers determines the final color.
There are no pigments used in dichroic glass. The raw material is perfectly clear. The colors in the glass are produced by the visible light being bent in a prism effect, exactly like what occurs in rainbows and dragonfly wings.
Unlike dyes or pigments which absorb 50 percent of the light, about 95 percent of the light in dichroic glass is reflected back to your eyes. This phenomenon accounts for the unusual brilliance of the glass.
