Novel oxyfluoride photosensitive glasses and glass ceramics

As a PhD student, my work revolves around the synthesis and characterization of novel oxyfluoride indium-based glass ceramics with a wide transmission range in the infrared, for an application in small-scale photonic components. Our team discovered a new crystalline phase exhibiting interesting optical properties ; my goal is to synthetize this phase in as many physical forms as possible and to analyze it through various methods of characterization. The search for this knowledge will also lead us to explore new glass and glass-ceramics compositions based on the crystal. This extensive study will allow for a much better understanding of the properties and potential applications of this entirely new compound.”
