Design and fabrication of low-cost thermal imaging optics using precision chalcogenide glass molding
Aspheric and diffractive surfaces in infrared materials are traditionally fabricated by single point diamond turning, which is a high-cost, low-throughput process, not suitable for low-cost, high-volume applications. Precision molding of chalcogenide glasses is a novel process we developed to allow the efficient fabrication of quality infrared optics in large volumes. In this paper we present t...
متن کاملChalcogenide Glass Materials for Integrated Infrared Photonics
Chalcogenide glasses (ChGs) are amorphous compounds containing the chalcogen elements (S, Se, Te) and exhibit wide infrared transparency windows. They are easy to synthesize in bulk and thin film forms and their compositional flexibility allows tuning of optical properties such as refractive index making them ideal for infrared photonics. We have studied the material attenuation in ChGs that ar...
متن کاملChalcogenide Glass Optical Waveguides for Infrared Biosensing
Due to the remarkable properties of chalcogenide (Chg) glasses, Chg optical waveguides should play a significant role in the development of optical biosensors. This paper describes the fabrication and properties of chalcogenide fibres and planar waveguides. Using optical fibre transparent in the mid-infrared spectral range we have developed a biosensor that can collect information on whole meta...

متن کاملMid-infrared characterization of solution-processed As2S3 chalcogenide glass waveguides.
An etch-free and cost-effective deposition and patterning method to fabricate mid-infrared chalcogenide glass waveguides for chemical sensing applications is introduced. As(2)S(3) raised strip optical waveguides are produced by casting a liquid solution of As(2)S(3) glass in capillary channel molds formed by soft lithography. Mid-IR transmission is characterized by coupling the output of a quan...
