In this paper, recent results regarding rare earth element doped with chalcogenide glasses for optical gain media such as amplifiers and lasers are reviewed. Rare earth Chalcogenide glasses are formed when chalcogen elements (S, Se, Te etc.) are mixed with new additive elements (Ge, Ga, Sb, As etc.) and also with rare earth elements (Er, Dy, Pd, Pr etc.) from periodic table and prepared by melt quench technique (MQT). Rare earth element doped with chalcogenide glasses has been emerged as a suitable candidate for applications in the numeral passive and active. Among various materials, chalcogenide glasses show significant improvement in their emission properties in the optical communication range and spectroscopic properties. Finally, rare earth doped chalcogenide and optical fibers show potential for high power mid-infrared gain medium and their spectroscopic properties as well.
