Chalcogenide glasses (ChGs), known as the amorphous compounds containing sulfur, selenium and tellurium, have gained a revived interest due to their unique optical properties such as excellent infrared transparency, stable thermo-visco properties, large Kerr nonlinearity, and almost infinite capacity for composition and property tailoring.
In this webcast, JJ Hu will review the basic material properties of chalcogenide glasses, and discuss their emerging applications which capitalize on their unique optical properties. The examples include low-cost precision-molded infrared lens, IR fiber-optics, nonlinear signal processing, and spectroscopic chemical sensing.
