Nonoxide chalcogenide glass films for integrated optics.
We report the waveguiding properties of sputtered films of three chalcogenide glasses: As(2)S(3), Ge(28)Sb(l2)Se(60), and Ge(33)As(l2)Se(55), at 1.064microm. Propagation losses of less than 1 dB/cm have been measured for As(2)S(3) films. Delineated guides, as well as films, have been made and studied.
