Solution-based technology is a promising method to obtain chalcogenide films of high optical quality and improved stability at external light exposure. New preparation methods of solution-based non-toxic chalcogenide glasses are proposed. Solution-based films of optical quality of different chemical composition are manufactured. Influence of different elements on solubility of glass is discussed. Kinetics of photoinduced optical effects are studied in the solution-based samples and compared with thermally deposited films of analogous compositions. Influence of gas environment on oxidation of the prepared samples is investigated. Technological steps to improve optical stability of the films are suggested.
