Ge-Chalcogenide Glasses – Properties and Application as Optical Material

Article Preview

Abstract:

The great interest toward chalcogenide materials is due to the simple technology of preparation in bulk forms and thin films; good thermal and mechanical properties; transparency and photo-sensibility in the IR spectral range. These advantages determine the possibilities for potential application of these materials like optical storage media, memory devices, optical elements (lenses, waveguides, gratings, etc). The idea of present study is to trace the impact of gallium or indium as metal introduction on the behaviors of the glasses from germanium - chalcogenide system.
