Metal-Coated IR-Transmitting Chalcogenide Glass Fibers

Abstract

Chalcogenide glass fibers are coated wth metals. The products have improved bending strength and resistance to UV, visible light, and moisture. The metal coating may be applied by any method, such as dip coating or sputtering. Typical metals include In, Sn, Bi, Pb, Tl, Zn, Cd and C.
