Structure, nonlinear properties, and photosensitivity of (GeSe_2)_100-x(Sb_2Se_3)_x glasses

Chalcogenide glasses from (GeSe2)​100-​x(Sb2Se3)​x system were synthesized, with x varying from 5 to 70, in order to evaluate the influence of antimony selenide addn. on nonlinear optical properties and photosensitivity.

Description
Summary:Chalcogenide glasses from (GeSe2)​100-​x(Sb2Se3)​x system were synthesized, with x varying from 5 to 70, in order to evaluate the influence of antimony selenide addn. on nonlinear optical properties and photosensitivity. Nonlinear refractive index and two photon absorption coeffs. were measured both at 1064 nm in picosecond regime using the Z-​scan technique and at 1.55 μm in femtosecond regime using an original method based on direct anal. of beam profile change while propagating in the chalcogenide glasses. The study of their photosensitivity at 1.55 μm revealed highly glass compn. dependent behavior and quasi-​photostable compns. have been identified in femtosecond regime. To better understand these characteristics, the evolution of the glass transition temp., d. and structure with the chem. compn. were detd.
