Description
Chalcogenide glass is made up of many elements from the Chalcogenide group. The glass is transparent to infrared light and is useful as
a semiconductor in many electronic devices. For example, chalcogenide glass fibers are a component of devices used to perform laser surgery.
This book is a comprehensive overview of designs of various chalcogenide glass devices are presented, including switches, phase inverters,
voltage stabilizers, oscillators, indicators and display control circuits, memory devices, and sensors. A special chapter is devoted
to chalcogenide glass applications in optical fibers.
This collective monograph is intended to survey the current state of chalcogenide
glass applications to facilitate further development.
