Abstract

Chalcogenide glasses can be tailored for getting special configurations with photonic crystal properties. A review on the advances in chalcogenide glass photonics is given. Several methods to prepare two-dimensional photonic As-S glass and three-dimensional packing have been developed, and the photonic structures have been characterized. Numerical simulations have also been performed. The chalcogenide photonic structures fabricated by micro-technological procedures are described and tuned to work in the far infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum.
