Abstract
Results of a study of the spectral transmission and shape of the working surfaces of glasses after their hardening by chemical etching are presented. It is revealed experimentally that the spectral transmission of the glasses does not change, and the shape of the working surfaces deteriorates. Recommendations are given on the use of transparent armor to protect optoelectronic devices.
