Abstract: Chalcogenide glasses offer large ultrafast third-order

nonlinearities, low two-photon absorption and the absence of free carrier

absorption in a photosensitive medium. This unique combination of

properties is nearly ideal for all-optical signal processing devices. In this

paper we review the key properties of these materials, outline progress in

the field and focus on several recent highlights: high quality gratings,
