This invention is directed broadly to transparent glasses exhibiting excellent transmission far into the infrared region of the electromagnetic radiation spectrum, those glasses consisting essentially, expressed in terms of mole percent, of 40-80% Ga2S3, 0-35% RSx, wherein R is at least one network forming cation selected from the group consisting of aluminum, antimony, arsenic, germanium, and indium, 1-50% Ln2S3, wherein Ln is at least one cation selected from the group consisting of a rare earth metal cation and yttrium, 1-45% MSx, wherein M is at least one modifying metal cation selected from the group consisting of barium, cadmium, calcium, lead, lithium, mercury, potassium, silver, sodium, strontium, thallium, and tin, and 0-10% total chloride and/or fluoride. Glass compositions consisting essentially, expressed in terms of mole percent, of 5-30% Ga2S3, 0-10% R2S3, wherein R is at least one network forming cation selected from the group consisting of aluminum, antimony, arsenic, and indium, 55-94.5% GeS2, 0.5- 25% MSx, wherein M is at least one modifying metal cation selected from the group consisting of barium, cadmium, calcium, lead, lithium, potassium, silver, sodium, strontium, tin, yttrium, and a rare earth metal of the lanthanide series, 0-10% total selenide, 0-25% total chloride and/or fluoride, and wherein the sulfur and/or selenium content can vary between 85-125% of the stoichiometric value when doped with Pr demonstrate exceptionally high values of ?.
