Fabrication and Properties of Infrared Gradient Refractive Index GeS2-In2S3-CsCl Chalcogenide Glass-Ceramics

Abstract

Abstract: Gradient refractive index infrared imaging system can greatly reduce the size, weight and cost of system while maintaining imaging performance, which is expected to advance the development of infrared imaging system towards lightweight and compactness. However, currently available infrared gradient refractive index optical materials are not accessible. Based on 65GeS₂-25In₂S₃-10CsCl chalcogenide glass, a gradient temperature field was used to thermally induce the precipitation of axially gradient-distributed β-In₂S₃ nanocrystals to produce a gradient refractive index transparent chalcogenide glass-ceramics. The results show that the precipitated β-In₂S₃ crystals are polycrystalline structures composed of nanocrystals with different crystallographic orientations, with a size of about 25 nm, and the size and number of crystals are closely related to gradient temperature field. The gradient refractive index chalcogenide glass-ceramics still maintain good transmission in long-wave infrared, and their maximum refractive index difference Δn reaches 0.047 at 10 μm.

Key words: chalcogenide glass, thermally induced crystallization, gradient refractive index, glass-ceramics, infrared transmission, optical material
