3D-printing of chalcogenide preforms: a novel process for the elaboration of chalcogenide microstructured optical fibers
Résumé
The elaboration of chalcogenide microstructured optical fibers (MOFs) permits to combine the mid-infrared
transmission of chalcogenide glasses up to 18 µm to the unique optical properties of MOFs due to the high degree of
freedom in the design of their geometrical structure. In this context, we have shown that chalcogenide preforms can be
obtained by an original additive manufacturing process, and that such as-prepared preforms can be drawn into
chalcogenide optical fibers. Those results open a new way for the elaboration of chalcogenide MOFs, especially for hollow-
core chalcogenide MOFs
