TL;DR: Yu et al. as mentioned in this paper acknowledge the financial support from the China Scholarship Council for their PhD in computer vision and acknowledge the support of the ARC DECRA project for Ultrahigh Bandwidth Devices for Optical Systems (CE110001018).

TL;DR: In this article, the authors reported measurements of the third order optical nonlinearity of 51 chalcogenide glasses in the near infrared and found that the measured values are an extremely good fit to the semi-empirical Miller's rule whilst the normalized real and imaginary parts are in satisfactory agreement with the scaling for indirect gap semiconductors reported by Dinu.

TL;DR: In this article, a broadband supercontinuum spanning from 1.8 μm to >7.5 μm is reported which was created by pumping a chalcogenide glass waveguide with ≈320fs pulses at 4 μm.

TL;DR: The basic capabilities of low-loss chalcogenide waveguides for spectroscopy were demonstrated by measuring the absorption spectrum of soluble Prussian blue in Dimethyl Sulphoxide.

TL;DR: By pumping an 11-cm-long step-index chalcogenide fiber with ∼330 fs pulses at 4.0 μm from an optical parametric amplifier, mid-infrared supercontinuum generation spanning from ∼1.8 to ∼10‬μm within a dynamic range of ±15‬‬dB has been demonstrated at a relatively low power threshold of ∼3000‬W.
