Abstract

This paper reports recent achievements in the field of infrared optical fibers based on vitreous arsenic chalcogenides (As₂S₃, As₂Se₃, As₂Se_1.5Te_1.5). The minimum optical losses of the fibers from arsenic sulfide, arsenic selenide and arsenic telluride are equal to 20 - 30 dB/km at 2.2 and 3.3 micrometers , 80 - 100 dB/km at 4.3 micrometers , and 100 - 300 dB/km and 6.7 micrometers , respectively. Among them the double polymer coated two-layer arsenic-sulfide optical fibers have the lowest optical losses (20 - 25 dB/km) and the highest mechanical bending strength (1 - 1.5 GPa).
