IR GRIN lenses prepared by ionic exchange in chalcohalide glasses

Abstract In order to decrease the number of lenses and the weight of thermal imaging devices, specific optical design are required by using gradient refractive index (GRIN) elements transparent in the infrared waveband. While widely used for making visible GRIN lenses with silicate glasses, the ion...
