When coated, these zinc selenide elements have a transmittance of T > 99.5 % at 10.6 µm

b. Optical components made from zinc selenide (ZnSe) or zinc sulphide (ZnS) with transmission in the wavelength range exceeding 3000 nm but not exceeding 25000 nm and having any of the following

For high power applications, gold mirrors and zinc selenide windows and lenses are preferred.

optical components made from zinc selenide (ZnSe) or zinc sulphide (ZnS) with transmission in the wavelength range exceeding 3000 nm but not exceeding 25000 nm and having any of the following

Zinc Selenide (ZnSe) is the most popular material for Infrared application.

b. Optical components made from zinc selenide (ZnSe) or zinc sulphide (ZnS) with transmission in the wavelength range exceeding 3000 nm but not exceeding 25000 nm and having any of the following

Typically, materials with a high refractive index are used, such as germanium and zinc selenide.

Note: Special care should be taken when handling Zinc Selenide as it is a toxic material.

Zinc selenide, using a process called nonlinear frequency conversion, is more capable of changing colors.

The windows (14) are made of an appropriate material such as zinc selenide to pass infrared rays and allow the gas to expand in one dimension only.

Each of the meniscus lenses are formed of a material selected from the group consisting of a chalcogenide glass, germanium, silicon, gallium arsenide, zinc selenide and glass.

Zinc Selenide (n10.6μm = 2.4028) is commonly used with CO2 laser applications, and features high transmission from 1 - 16μm.

Zinc Selenide (ZnSe) is commonly used from 1 - 16μm, ideal for use with CO2 lasers.

Zinc Selenide is a chemically vapor deposited material commonly used in thermal imaging, FLIR, and medical systems.
