They have very different properties in comparison with silica glass, which is generally a passive material, whereas chalcogenides have active properties and are highly nonlinear. Chalcogenide fibers ...

Embedding a thin layer of chalcogenide glass inside a polymer paves the way for a new form of flexible optical waveguides and integrated optical circuits. The development of flexible photonics is ...

It merges silicon with high-speed chalcogenide glass, providing an advanced alternative to conventional ICs. Chalcogenide glass is a glass containing one or more chalcogens (sulfur, selenium and ...

The findings, which involve the use of a specialized kind of glass called chalcogenide, are described in two papers by MIT Associate Professor Juejun Hu and more than a dozen others at MIT ...

(See "Breakthrough switching speed with an all-optical chalcogenide glass chip: 640 Gbit/s Demultiplexing," Leif Oxenl we et al, Optics Express, Vol. 17, Issue 4.) Ben Eggleton, the research ...

Chalcogenide glasses are comprised of chalcogen elements—sulfur, selenium, and tellurium—alloyed with elements like germanium or arsenic to create optical glass materials that may be applied to ...

Chalcogenide glass, composed of sulfur, selenium, and tellurium, offers a unique set of optical properties that make it an ideal material for a wide range of infrared applications. With superior ...

The funding awarded to LightPath by ESA will be used to develop chalcogenide glass materials, such as its Black Diamond™ ("BD6™"), to replace germanium in space imaging and communication systems.
