Unravelling interrelations between chemical composition and refractive index dispersion of infrared-transmitting chalcogenide glasses.


ABSTRACT: A facile procedure for compositional screening of chalcogenide glass (CG) is proposed to manage its infrared transmission edge (?c) as well as refractive index dispersion (?) in the long-wavelength infrared (LWIR) range. Both ?c and ? of CG turn out to be interpretable simply in connection with its chemical composition based on a postulation that CG behaves as a single average harmonic oscillator (SAHO). In this SAHO model, ?c is expressed as a function of molar mass and average bond energy, both of which are easily accessible for a given CG composition. Two prototypical CG-forming systems in Ge-Sb-Se and Ge-Sb-S compositions exemplify the empirical compositional dependence of ?c, which further plays a decisive role in determining ?. Following the present approach, a set of highly dispersive CG compositions in the Ge-Sb-S system is newly unveiled together with low-dispersion Ge-Sb-Se glasses. It is then experimentally demonstrated that a doublet lens configuration consisting of convex and concave lenses with low and high ? values, respectively, is able to reduce the optical aberrations. This finding presents an opportunity that ? can be envisaged just based on the compositional ratio of CG, thus facilitating completion of the LWIR Abbe diagram.

A facile procedure for compositional screening of chalcogenide glass (CG) is proposed to manage its infrared transmission edge (ω<sub>c</sub>) as well as refractive index dispersion (ν) in the long-wavelength infrared (LWIR) range. Both ω<sub>c</sub> and ν of CG turn out to be interpretable simply in connection with its chemical composition based on a postulation that CG behaves as a single average harmonic oscillator (SAHO).
