Chalcogenide Glasses for Infrared Applications: New Synthesis Routes and Rare Earth Doping
Chalcogenide glasses and glass-ceramics present a high interest for the production of thermal imaging lenses transparent in the 3-5 μm and 8-12 μm windows. However, chalcogenide glasses are conventionally synthesized in sealed silica ampoules which have two major drawbacks. First, the low thermal co...
