Abstract

GRIN materials can help compensate chromatic aberrations and enhance athermalization in an optical system, leading to more lightweight and compact lens assemblies, often with a lower number of elements. For several years, Umicore and ISCR in Rennes have developed GRIN materials for systems, using several approaches to modify the index in a chalcogenide glass. We will mention two of the most promising paths in this review: partial and spatially controlled crystallization by fast heating of the perimeter of a glass rod and ionic exchange which modifies locally the glass composition, leading to local changes in refractive index.
