The recent development of electro-optic devices and anticorrosion media has led to the necessity to investigate infrared optical systems with solid-solid interfaces of materials that often have the characteristic of amorphousness. One of the most promising classes of materials for those purposes seems to be the chalcogenide glasses. Chalcogenide glasses, based on the Ge-Sb-Se system, have drawn a great deal of attention because of their use in preparing optical lenses and transparent fibers in the range of 3~12 um. In this study, amorphous Ge-Sb-Se chalcogenide for application in an infrared optical product design and manufacture was prepared by a standard melt-quenching technique. The results of the structural, optical and surface roughness analysis of high purity Ge-Sb-Se chalcogenide glasses are reported after various annealing processes.

Various types of optical materials and devices used in special environments must satisfy durability and optical properties. In order to improve the durability of zinc sulfide multispectral (MS ZnS) substrates with transmission wavelengths from visible to infrared, Ge-Sb-Se-based chalcogenide glass was used as a sealing material to bond the MS ZnS substrates. Wetting tests of the Ge-Sb-Se-based chalcogenide glass were conducted to analyze flowability as a function of temperature, by considering the glass transition temperature (T_g) and softening temperature (T_s). In the wetting test, the viscous flow of the chalcogenide glass sample was analyzed according to the temperature. After placing the chalcogenide glass disk between MS ZnS substrates (20 × 30 mm), the sealing test was performed at a temperature of 485 ℃ for 60 min. Notably, it was found that the Ge-Sb-Se-based chalcogenide glass sealed the MS ZnS substrates well. After the MS ZnS substrates were sealed with chalcogenide glass, they showed a transmission of 55 % over 3~12 ㎛. The tensile strength of the sealed MS ZnS substrates with Ge-Sb-Se-based chalcogenide glass was analyzed by applying a maximum load of about 240 N, confirming its suitability as a sealing material in the far infrared range.

Thermal and structural stability in the glass transition region of chalcogenide glasses has been investigated in terms of thermodynamics for application to various optoelectronic devices. In this study, the compositions of $Ge_xSb_{20}Se_{80-x}$ (x = 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30) were selected to investigate the glass stability according to germanium ratios. The chalcogenide bulks were fabricated by using a traditional melt-quenching method. Thin films were deposited by a thermal evaporation system, maintaining the deposition ratio of $3{\sim}5{\AA}$ in order to have uniformity. The thermal and structural properties were measured by a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The DSC analysis provided thermal parameters and theoretical glass region stabilities. The XRD analysis supported the theoretical stabilities because of where the crystallization peak data occurred.

1.6 $\mu\textrm{m}$ 파장대의 U밴드 광증폭기용 광섬유 소재인 Pr첨가 Ge-Sb-Se 계열 셀레나이드 유리의 굴절률을 분광타원법을 이용하여 결정하였다. 시료의 광물성을 조사하기 위해 투과 파장 영역에서의 타원 스펙트럼을 Sellmeier 분산관계식에 기반한 공기/미시 거칠기층/표면층/기층으로 구성된 4상계의 모델에 적용하여 굴절률과 분산계수 및 박막구조상수를 동시에 얻을 수 있었다. 디스크 형태로 가공된 각 시료의 양면을 대상으로 위치에 따라 수회 반복 측정을 통하여 시료의 표면 거칠기의 영향을 파악함으로써 조성 변화에 대한 굴절률 변화 양상을 보다 정확히 파악하였다. 시료의 표면 거칠기가 굴절률 측정치의 편차에 주된 영향을 미쳤으나 1 몰%에 해당하는 소량의 조성변화에 따른 굴절률 변화를 신뢰할 수 있는 수준으로 결정할 수 있었다. 실험적으로 결정된 조성변화와 굴절률과의 관계식은 단일모드의 셀레나이드 광섬유 제작에 있어 코어와 클래드의 조성을 결정하는데 직접적으로 활용될 수 있다.

This study aimed at identifying and optimizing the heating-condition parameters that cause surface defects during the compression molding of chalcogenide glass (GeSbSe) lenses through thermal analysis. We derived the optimal heating conditions for molding chalcogenide glass lenses through thermal analysis and analyzed the surface defects. As a result, we observed a significant reduction in surface defects, which verified the analysis process.

찰코지나이드 유리에 첨가된 희토류 원소의 4f 전자 궤도를 구성하는 여기 상태 에너지 준위의 수명은 기지 재료의 단거리 구조 변화뿐만 아니라 중거리 구조 변화에도 매우 민감하다 Pr$^{3+}$ 이온을 첨가한 다양한 조성의 Ge-Sb-Se 계열 찰코지나이드 샘플을 대상으로 Pr$^{3+}$ ($^3$F$_3$, $^3$F$_4$)\$\longrightarrow$$^3$H$_4$천이로부터 발생하는 1.6$\mu\textrm{m}$ 형광의 수명을 측정한 결과, 해당 형광 수명은 mean coordination number가 -2.67이 되는 조성에서 최대 값을 나타내었다. 이는 유리의 구조가 2차원 구조에서 3차원 구조로 전환됨에 따라 희토류 이온의 분포도가 변화하기 때문이며 소위 topological structure 모델과 chemically ordered network모델로써 공유 결합성이 강한 찰코지나이드 유리에 첨가된 희토류 이온의 발광 특성에 대한 해석이 가능하였다. 이러한 결과는 희토류 원소의 분포 및 형광 수명을 단지 찰코지나이드 재료의 성분비만으로 예측할 수 있다는 새로운 관점이 타당함을 의미한다
