Abstract

The recent development of chalcogenide hybrid inorganic-organic polymers (CHIPs) based on the inverse vulcanization of sulfur and selenium with organic monomers provides a new materials platform for infrared photonics. These materials have high refractive indices (1.7 to 2.1), excellent transmission in the SWIR and MWIR, and compatibility with polymer processing techniques. The optimal fabrication processes for these materials depend upon the specific composition required for the target application, with polymer properties ranging from thermoplastic to thermoset. Significant progress has been made in fabricating bulk-optic and integrated photonics prototypes such as microlens arrays and single-mode optics building blocks.
