A large body of literature is reviewed with the aim of identifying binary and ternary systems for producing long-wave infrared transmitting glass-ceramics for window applications. Known optical and physical property data is summarized for many ternary sulfides as well as their constituent binary sulfides. Some phosphide and arsenide chalcopyrite structures are reviewed as well. Where available, data on the transmission range, energy gap, refractive index, and hardness are tabulated. Several glass-forming systems are identified containing Ga2S3, GeS2, or As2S3.
