Abstract

Oxide and non-oxide glass with tailored morphology or microstructure induced by photo-exposure and subsequent heat treatment can result in new materials with unique optical functions. Spatial control of where this local modification occurs can result in optical materials with refractive or diffractive behavior different from those found in homogeneous optical materials. We review the use of such strategies to introduce such unique optical function to commercially developed oxide and prototype chalcogenide glass ceramic media that have yielded a range of performance attributes that make them unique in applications requiring reduced size, weight, power and cost (SWAP-C). We summarize how these materials have been designed and created to yield components that combine multiple functions in a single optical element, resulting in unique performance solutions for a variety of optical systems, highlighting the future potential these materials offer.
