ResumoThis paper reports more recent work in the area of infrared fiber optics, concentrating on the fabrication and optical evaluation of fiber optics components from the arsenic-sulphur glasses. Oxide glasses, notably germanate and lanthanate glasses, are used for the spectral range of 4000 Å to 5μ and arsenic-sulphur glasses for the range 1–12μ. The components fabricated for this investigation are fused plates, field flatteners, single conical condensers, multiple imaging cones and light funnels. The problems peculiar to the fabrication of fiber optics from the arsenic-sulphur glasses are described. Various applications of infrared fiber optics are discussed and the direction of future development is pointed out.
