“…Chalcogenide glasses, distinguished within the realm of glass materials, deviate remarkably from their traditional oxide glass counterparts . Their appeal lies in their distinctive features, including a high refractive index, low crystallization temperature, and mid- to far-infrared transparency. , These qualities have proven valuable in thermal imaging systems, thermo-electric devices, and enhancing applications in surveillance and military technology. , Beyond optics, chalcogenide glasses have ventured into the realm of electronics, electro-optics, photolithography, etc. , …”
