Abstract
Chalcogenide glass has the broadest reported transparency in the infrared, making them particularly attractive for spectroscopy and infrared imagery. Yet, it remains a difficult material to shape in arbitrary form. In this paper, we explore the combination of femtosecond laser-exposure and subsequent chemical etching steps to produce arbitrary 3D shapes out of a chalcogenide glass substrate coated with a SiO2 thin film. In this context, we discuss how laser parameters locally influence the etching rate.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Applied Glass Science (IJAGS) endeavors to be an indispensable source of information dealing with the application of glass science and engineering across the entire materials spectrum. Through the solicitation, editing, and publishing of cutting-edge peer-reviewed papers, IJAGS will be a highly respected and enduring chronicle of major advances in applied glass science throughout this century. It will be of critical value to the work of scientists, engineers, educators, students, and organizations involved in the research, manufacture and utilization of the material glass. Guided by an International Advisory Board, IJAGS will focus on topical issue themes that broadly encompass the advanced description, application, modeling, manufacture, and experimental investigation of glass.
