We demonstrate on-chip hybrid integration of chalcogenide glass waveguides and quantum cascade lasers (QCLs). Integration is achieved using an additive solution-casting and molding method to directly form As(2)S(3) strip waveguides on an existing QCL chip. Integrated As(2)S(3) strip waveguides constructed in this manner display strong optical confinement and guiding around 90° bends, with a NA of 0.24 and bend loss of 12.9dB at a 1mm radius (λ=4.8μm).

Flexible infrared image fiber bundles (FBs) are capable of delivering thermal images of areas that are difficult for ordinary thermal cameras to access while making the imaging systems compact and lightweight. Thus, FB-based thermal imaging systems show great potential in some important applications, such as infrared endoscopy, aircraft infrared warning, and satellite remote sensing. In most applications, FBs are required to have high overall transmittance (OT) and high spatial resolution (), but the fabrication of such high-performance FBs is still a challenge.

However, molding complex surfaces such as free-form and array surfaces is still in its infancy. To reveal the variations of temperature and stress of microlens array (MLA) optical elements during the molding process, a simulation model was established using the finite element method (FEM), and the heating and forming stages of a chalcogenide glass MLA optical element were studied.

Chalcogenide phase-change materials (PCMs) are among the most mature candidates for next-generation memory technology. Recently, CrGeTe (CrGT) emerged as a promising PCM due to its enhanced amorphous stability and fast crystallization for embedded memory applications. The amorphous stability of CrGT was attributed to the complex layered structure of the crystalline motifs needed to initiate crystallization.

Dichalcogenoimidodiphosphinate complexes of zinc [Zn{(EPPr)N}], [E=Se,Se; S,Se] were synthesized through metathetical reactions from the dichalcogenoimidodiphosphinate ligands [(EE'PPrNH)] (E, E'=Se, Se; S, Se). These complexes were characterized and used as single-source precursors through Aerosol-Assisted Chemical Vapour Deposition (AACVD) for the deposition of cubic zinc selenide (ZnSe) films on glass substrates. The deposition temperature occurred at 500 and 525 °C, while the flow rates of the carrier gas was 160 and 240 standard cubic centimetre (sccm).
