Abstract
AbstractChalcogenide glasses are non-oxygen glasses that are usually prepared under vacuum. Since the glasses are mostly used as optical devices working in mid and far-infrared region, where impurities such as oxygen, carbon, transition metal dust and others could seriously compromise the performance of the glasses, it is essential to purify the raw material before glass preparation, as well as remove the microdefects induced during fiber fabrication. In this chapter, we will review the major factors that can affect the optical properties of chalcogenide glass fiber with a coverage that ranges from fundamental theory to glass preparation methods and on to fiber fabrication technologies.
