Summary:This review deals with chalcogenide glasses and fibers. Chemical compositions and physical properties are given for specific glasses well suited for fiber drawing. Fabrication techniques of glass perform are described. Single-index and step-index single-mode fibers are characterized in terms of optical losses in the infrared. Examples of applications of chalcogenide fibers are given, as well as optical sensors in the fields of environment, microbiology and health, and as mode-filters for infrared interferometry in space.
