What is it about?
The super-bandgap laser irradiation of the in situ prepared As-S chalcogenide films was found to cause drastic structural transformations and unexpected selective diffusion processes, leading to As enrichment on the nanolayer surface.

Why is it important?
The formation of a concentration gradient is a result of bond cleavage and molecular reorientation during transformations and anisotropic molecular diffusion.
Perspectives
Recent progress in chalcogenide photonics shows that the glasses of As-S system are among the best candidates as an active optical media for ultrafast all-optical processing systems .Such systems include an optical train which must be capable of transporting beam without seriously degrading of optical media during irradiation .
