Infrared (IR) fibers offer a versatile approach to guiding and manipulating light in the IR
spectrum, which is becoming increasingly more prominent in a variety of scientific …

Chalcogenide glass fibers based on sulfide, selenide, telluride and their rare earth doped
compositions are being actively investigated worldwide. Great strides have been made in …

Rare-Earth-Doped Fiber Lasers and Amplifiers, Second Edition discusses the essential
principles, operating characteristics, and current technology of the main fiber laser and …

The earliest experimental data on an oxygen-free glass have been published by Schulz-
Sellack in 1870 [1]. Later on, in 1902, Wood [2], as well as Meier in 1910 [3], carried out the …

Chalcogenide-glass fibers based on sulfide, selenide, telluride and their rare-earth-doped
compositions are being actively pursued worldwide. Great strides have been made in …

Chalcogenide glasses are based on the chalcogen elements S, Se and Te and the addition
of other elements such as Ge, As and Sb leads to the formation of stable glasses [1]. The …

Sulfide, selenide and telluride glass fibers were prepared for infrared optical applications. A
new crucible drawing method was developed for the drawing of fibers with glass cladding …

We report recent progress on fabrication of solid core microstructured fibers in chalcogenide
glass. Several complex and regular holey fibers from Ga5Ge20Sb10S65 chalcogenide …

An infrared-transmitting chalcogenide fiber was used as an optical probe to analyze
qualitatively and quantitatively various chemical substances in aqueous solutions. An …

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 …
