Abstract

Thin films have been deposited onto quartz substrates by the pulsed laser deposition (PLD) method from the corresponding glassy bulk As-Se-Sb chalcogenide materials. Photoinduced changes have been observed after illumination of the films with a Xe lamp. The transmission spectra of the thin films have been measured before and after irradiation and the optical constants have been derived by the Swanepoel method. The results suggest feasible applications of these materials for waveguide-sensors.
