“…Chalcogenide thin films and composites on their base are used as the recording medium for fabrication of optical elements, in holography and phase change-type optical memory discs, integrated and fiber optics, sensors, etc. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] This is due to their possession of unique characteristics such as wide range of optical transparency, high refractive index and photo structural transformations, accompanied by the change of optical and chemical properties [2][3][4][5]. Among the number of different photoinduced effects are photo-darkening and bleaching, local expansion or contraction, changes of the refractive index, polarization-dependent structural changes, photoinduced dichroism [1][2][4][5].…”
