“…The core was AgBr while the cladding consisted or AgCl fiber optic elements arranged in two concentric hexagonal rings around the core. These (effectively step-index) fibers are potentially useful for IR laser power transmission, IR radiometry, and IR spectroscopy [435,[461][462][463].…”

Infrared (IR) fibers offer a versatile approach to guiding and manipulating light in the IR spectrum, which is becoming increasingly more prominent in a variety of scientific disciplines and technological applications. Despite well-established efforts on the fabrication of IR fibers in past decades, a number of remarkable breakthroughs have recently rejuvenated the field-just as related areas in IR optical technology are reaching maturation. In this review, we describe both the history and recent developments in the design and fabrication of IR fibers, including IR glass and single-crystal fibers, multimaterial fibers, and fibers that exploit the transparency window of traditional crystalline semiconductors. This interdisciplinary review will be of interest to researchers in optics and photonics, materials science, and electrical engineering.

The infrared range of the optical spectrum is attractive for its use in sensing, surveillance, and material characterization. The increasing availability of compact laser sources and detectors in the infrared range stands in contrast with the limited development of optical components for this optical range. We highlight developments of infrared components with a particular focus on fiber-based components for compact optical devices and systems.

“…These devices find applications in industry, science, and medicine for fabrication, imaging, sensing, or power delivery. Mid‐IR systems are usually implemented as fibers, [ 4,5 ] as waveguides, [ 6,7 ] or as free‐space optics. [ 8,9 ] For these cases, most of the commonly used mid‐IR transparent materials have a high refractive index: often above 2, and in some cases, up to 4 (see Figure ).…”

“…Another challenge with ARCs deposition is that poor substrate surface quality can completely hinder the adhesion of the coating to the substrate. This problem is common with polycrystalline materials such as AgClBr compounds, [ 5,10 ] which are used for the production of optical fibers, or LiGaS 2 and GaSe, which are utilized for optical parametric amplifiers (OPA) and optical parametric oscillators (OPO). [ 11–13 ]…”

Mid‐infrared materials antireflection is in high demand for high‐powered or ultra‐broadband coherent light sources, where conventional antireflection coatings cannot be reliably applied. This work provides a critical review of the recent advances in microstructure fabrication technology for mid‐infrared antireflection applications. Several techniques are reviewed, including direct imprinting, wet and reactive ion etching using conventional photoresist masking, novel colloid crystal masks, and maskless etching, laser‐induced periodic structure formation, and multiple laser ablation method modifications, including femtosecond laser direct writing, direct laser interference ablation, and single pulse ablation. The advantages and drawbacks of the different approaches are discussed in detail to highlight the most promising techniques for the fabrication of antireflection microstructures capable of achieving 99% transmittance in the 2–16 μm range.
