Infrared transmitting glasses and their optical fibers encompass wide interest with numerous applications. The objective of this project is to advance the following research thrusts that find considerable industry relevance and high potential for commercialization: 1) reduction of the intrinsic losses in infrared glasses by developing improved fabrication methods for synthesizing high-purity glasses, and 2) development of infrared glass fibers for industrial, biomedical, and communications technologies. The main project deliverable will be to improve and automate the fabrication process for high-purity specialty glasses, especially chalcogenide glasses, in order to obtain progressively purer and more transparent chalcogenide glass fibers, and to set the international standard of quality and market acceptance.

红外透射玻璃及其光纤有着广泛的应用前景。该项目的目标是推进以下研究重点，这些重点具有相当大的工业相关性和商业化潜力：1)通过开发合成高纯度玻璃的改进制造方法来减少红外玻璃的固有损耗；2)开发用于工业、生物医学和通信技术的红外玻璃纤维。主要交付项目将是改进和自动化高纯度特种玻璃，特别是硫族玻璃的制造工艺，以逐步获得更纯净、更透明的硫族玻璃纤维，并制定国际质量标准和市场接受度。
