Abstract
The change in the absorption loss of IR-transmitting chalcogenide glass fibers in the temperature range of ?90 °C ? T ? 70 °C was investigated. For sulfur-based glass fibers the change in loss relative to room temperature was slightly affected by the temperature in the wavelength region of 1–5 ?m. For ? ? 6 ?m the change in loss was mainly due to multiphonon absorption. The change in loss for tellurium-based glass fibers increased significantly at T = 60 °C. The increase in the loss at short wavelengths (? ? 4.1 ?m) was due to electronic excitations in the tail states. Between 5 and 9 ?m there was noticeable free-carrier absorption. Beyond ? ? 9 ?m, multiphonon absorption dominated the loss spectrum.
