About this title:

Synopsis: This book explores oxygen-free chalcogenide glasses, the only commercial transparent vitreous materials used for long-wave infrared radiation. The chalcogenides have been the subject of study around the world for many years, and continue to be an important area of research and development in infrared optics. Written by a renowned glass specialist with extensive experience working with chalcogenide glasses, Glasses for Infrared Optics includes discussions of:

  • Chalcogenide glasses - a unique class of vitreous substances
  • Optical properties of chalcogenide glasses
  • Elaboration of commercial glasses
  • Technological basics for manufacturing optical chalcogenide glasses
    The material presented in Glasses for Infrared Optics is based on research performed at the Vavilov State Optical Institute in Russia. This is the first and only work that reviews every aspect of chalcogenide glasses. The scope of this comprehensive book is unique, and the major portion of this work has never been published before in English.
  • From the Back Cover: Infrared optics are useful for many potential applications such as diagnostics in medicine, nondestructive testing in industry, thermal scanning of the ground for ecology aims, and everywhere when identification of objects according to their surface heating patterns is necessary.
