摘要
Transparent chalcogenide glass ceramics were prepared by thermally treating gold-doped germanium-gallium-sulfur glass. The gold, as nucleating agents, modified the crystallization process of the glass, resulting in the formation of nanocrystals belonging to a single alpha-Ga2S3 phase. The crystalline grains increased in number with the treatment duration while their size remained constant, leading to a high infrared transmittance of the glass ceramics. Z-scan measurements revealed the performance improvement of the alpha-Ga2S3 nanocrystals to third-order optical nonlinearities. (C) 2013 Optical Society of America
