Solution Based Approach for the Fabrication Of Photonic Devices in Chalcogenide Glasses

摘要

In this report, we describe the solution preparation conditions of various chalcogenide glasses. The dissolution mechanism of (As_2S_3)_(60)Ge_(40), (As_2S_3)_(60)Se_(40) in ethanolamine is studied. Dynamic light scattering (DLS)measurements confirms that the particles in suspension are <10 nm in all the solutions.Prepared solutions are shown to possess similar molecular structure to the parent bulk glasses. Optical properties of the prepared solution are also discussed.
