Design and fabrication of a compound-eye system using precision molded chalcogenide glass freeform microlens arrays

Understanding aging in chalcogenide glass thin films using precision resonant cavity refractometry

“…With their large infrared transparency windows, high nonlinearity, and compatibility with standard microfabrication techniques, ChGs have a wide range of state-of-the-art applications in optics and photonics. They can be easily processed into a wide range of photonic devices such as waveguides [23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32], Bragg gratings [33,34], resonators [35][36][37][38][39], micro-lenses [40][41][42][43][44], omnidirectional reflectors [45][46][47], and photonic crystals [48][49][50][51]. Their nonlinear characteristics also make them promising candidates for all-optical signal processing [52,53] and nonlinear frequency generation [54][55][56][57].…”
