Assessing the optical properties of chalcogenide glasses and fibres: towards the development of new light sources

Owing to their properties of mid-infrared (MIR) transparency, high refractive index, low phonon energy, high optical non-linearity, and an ability to dope them with rare-earth element ions, chalcogenide glasses are a promising candidate for planar photonic integrated circuits, and narrow- and broad-...
