Fabrication of molded chalcogenide-glass lens for thermal imaging applications

Abstract: With the recent development of less costly uncooled detector technology, expensive optics are among the remaining significant cost drivers. As a potential solution to this problem, the fabrication of IR lenses using chalcogenide glass has been studied in recent years. We report on the fabrication of a molded chalcogenide-glass lens for car night vision and on the evaluation of the lens. The moldability of chalcogenide glass was characterized through transcription properties of the mold's surface. In addition, … Show more

“…Chalcogenide glasses have excellent infrared (IR) transparency, high linear and nonlinear refractive indices, and low phonon energy, and therefore have received extensive studies in IR optics, nonlinear optics, and IR lasers . To date, many chalcogenide glass systems have been investigated and their potential applications have been evaluated.…”
