eng Optical properties of silver doped amorphous films of composition Ge(28)S(72) and Ge(22)Ga(6)S(72) Thin films of Ge(28)S(72) and Ge(22)Ga(6)S(72) prepared by pulsed laser deposition were doped with silver in three steps. Each step includes deposition of a 10 nm thick silver thin film by thermal evaporation and its dissolution into chalcogenide thin films by photodiffusion. Undoped and doped thin films were characterized by using a Spectral ellipsometer VASE, a UV/VIS spectrometer, X-Ray diffraction analysis and Energy dispersive X-Ray analysis but only optical characterization is present in this paper. Substitution of Ge by atoms Ga leads into increasing of the refractive index and the red shift of short-wavelength cut-off edge. Adding silver leads to another increase of the refractive index and the red shift of short-wavelength cut-off edge. Due to high thickness of chalcogenide thin films (at least 500 nm) such amount of silver was not sufficient for creating homogenous thin films and thin films with a graded refractive index were created Ge-S;Optical properties;Ag-doped
