The infrared applications of chalcogenide glasses
Abstract
The optical and general properties of bulk chalcogenide glasses are summarized. Loss mechanisms in infrared materials; intrinsic absorption mechanisms; intrinsic scatter mechanisms; and extrinsic loss mechanisms are discussed. Sulfide glasses; selenide glasses; selenide-telluride glasses; and telluride glasses are covered.
