This book provides a comprehensive overview of the chalcogenide glass science and
various applications based on the glasses. It starts with a review on the glass-forming ability …

An environment friendly nonlinear chalcogenide glass fiber with a Ge‐Sb‐Se core and a Ge‐
Se cladding is fabricated for bright broadband mid‐infrared (MIR) supercontinuum (SC) …

Glassy materials based on chalcogen elements are becoming increasingly prominent in the
development of advanced infrared sensors. In particular, infrared fibers constitute a …

Optical fibers with sub-wavelength cores are promising systems for efficient nonlinear light
generation. Here we reveal that the single-mode criterion represents a convenient design …

The complete removal of the impurities like Se-H in Se-based chalcogenide glasses has
been challenging in the development of highly transparent chalcogenide glass fiber. In this …

Atomic processes giving rise to the photoinduced fluidity have been studied for amorphous
selenium. Ab initio molecular orbital calculations of Se clusters suggest that distorted atomic …

Chalcogenide glasses constitute the only class of materials that remain fully amorphous
while exhibiting broad optical transparency over the full infrared region from 2-20 microns …

Detailed measurements of photoinduced fluidity in Ge-Se glasses were performed using a
novel shear relaxation test in torsion mode. It is shown that photofluidity is significant even at …

This chapter discusses the use of selenide glass fibers for biochemical sensing. Selenide
glasses combine two unique properties:(1) high transparency in the mid-infrared,(2) …

A type of As 2 S 3 chalcogenide glass mid-infrared dual-core photonic crystal fiber has been
proposed. The dual-core photonic crystal fiber (PCF) consists of two asymmetric cores. The …
