“…Dahshan et al [62] in 2008 demonstrated the thermal stabi− lity and activation energy for a few Cu doped chalcogenide glasses. In the same year Lousteau et al [63] have demon− strated the fabrication of heavy metal fluoride glass and explored the optical planar waveguides property by hot−spin casting. Further, Klokishner et al [64] have shown the con− centration effects on the photoluminescence band centres in multicomponent metallic chalcogenide glasses.…”

Amorphous semiconductors or chalcogenide glasses are the key materials in modern optoelectronics to make comfortable life of our society. Understanding of physical properties (like microstructure, thermal, optical, electrical) of these materials is important for their different uses. Predominant study of physical properties of the metal containing multicomponent chalcogenide glasses have attracted much attention, due to their interesting variable features and wide range of structural network modifications. Structural modifications in these materials are usually described with respect to the values of structural units (or average coordination number). In significance to this, the present work demonstrates the chronological development in the field of chalcogenide glasses along with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) morphologies. Optical, electrical and thermal correlative properties of recent developed Se93−xZn2Te5Inx (0 ≤ x ≤ 10) metallic multicomponent chalcogenide glasses are discussed. Variation in SEM morphology, refractive index (n), extinction coefficient (K), optical energy band gap (Eg), electrical conductivity (σav), crystallization activation energy (Ec) and glass forming ability (GFA) with structural units of Se-Zn-Te-In glasses have been demonstrated in this study. Subjected materials thermal, optical and electrical parameters have been achieved higher and lower in a respective manner at the threshold structural unit value 〈r〉.

“…In contrast, heavymetal halide glasses represented by ZrF 4 -based multicomponent fluoride glass are neither toxic nor hygroscopic. 39 However, they still require further optimization to realize long fiber lengths with superior optical and mechanical integrity. Fluorides typically have lower glass stability, limited chemical durability, and lower nonlinear coefficients, as compared with other nonoxide materials, 37 along with laser power-handling capabilities (in short lengths) suitable for consideration in compact MIR source applications.…”

“…38 These glasses attracted interest as materials for long-distance fiber communication systems, which led to the development of a wide variety of multicomponent halide glasses. 39 However, they still require further optimization to realize long fiber lengths with superior optical and mechanical integrity. IR-transmitting fluoride glass planar waveguides with optical losses of 0.5 dB/cm at 1.535 mm wavelength have been reported in PbF 2 -ZnF 2 -GaF 3 glass channel waveguides.…”

Recent advances in the application of glassy materials in planar and fiber‐based photonic structures have led to novel devices and components that go beyond the original thinking of the use of glass in the 1960s, when glass fibers were developed for low‐loss, optical communication applications. Exploitation of the material's compositional flexibility, combined with the ability to tailor all aspects of its size, shape, and physical properties as well as its behavior when exposed to all forms of electromagnetic radiation, has led to numerous breakthroughs. Thus, for the purposes of this review, we have divided the discussion to highlight issues of material composition and form and how both impact device function, focusing on the advances made within the past decades.
