Surface relief formation in Yb doped As2S3–Se nanomultilayer structures

Abstract

Chalcogenide glasses and films are promising materials for application in optoelectronics and photonics. Nanomultilayer structures based on chalcogenide glasses attract much attention due to their property of direct surface relief formation under light or e-beam exposure with the ability to use them for optical element fabrication, holography, etc. The aim of this study is investigation of photo-stimulated processes during surface relief formation in Yb doped As2S3–Se nanomultilayer structures.
