Method of making optical materials from silicon nitride by pyrolysis of polymeric silazanes by pressing, before the pyrolysis, the pulverulent polymeric silazanes to give mouldings or first dissolving the polymeric silazanes in an organic solvent, drawing fibres from this solution and pyrolysing said fibres after evaporation of the solvent or by melting of polymeric silazanes, casting, injection-moulding or extruding this melt to give mouldings and subsequent pyrolysis. During or after the pyrolysis, an oxidic layer is produced in an oxygen-containing atmosphere on the silicon nitride moulding. The pyrolysis can be carried out at 800-1000 DEG C in an atmosphere containing ammonia or containing ammonia/inert gas mixtures. |
