Melt size-dependent physical property variation is examined in a multicomponent GeSe2-As2Se3-PbSe chalcogenide glass developed for gradient refractive index applications. The impact of melting conditions on small (40 g) prototype laboratory-scale melts extended to commercially relevant melt sizes (1.325 kg) have been studied and the role of thermal history variation on physical and optical property evolution in parent glass, the glass' crystallization behavior and post heat-treated glass ceramics, is quantified. As-melted glass morphology, optical homogeneity and heat treatment-induced microstructure following a fixed, two-step nucleation and growth protocol exhibit marked variation with melt size. These attributes …

We characterize the nonlinear optical properties of GeSbS chalcogenide glasses with fiber-based experiments. A waveguide nonlinear parameter of 7 W-1/m and nonlinear refractive index of 3.71 x 10-18 m2/W are estimated by self-phase modulation. A GeSbS waveguide could also generate a supercontinuum from 1280 to 2120 nm at the -30 dB level for maximum coupled power of 340 W, showing a 14-fold spectral broadening of the input spectrum explained by cascaded stimulated Raman scattering.
