The method of measuring viscosity of a glass body, such as an optical preform related to at least its softening temperature, exploits the scattering effects the body introduces into a substantially monochromatic radiation passing through it; more particularly, the width of the spectral line due to Brillouin scattering is measured. The temperature of the body can also be determined by measuring the width of the line generated by Rayleigh scattering. The method is of particular interest for measurements on glasses.
