Zinc selenide (ZnSe) is a versatile infrared optical material combining broad spectral transmission with low absorption at important infrared laser wavelengths. It is widely used for CO₂ laser optics, infrared imaging, thermal sensing, spectroscopy and other applications requiring transmission from the visible region into the infrared.
Physix supplies custom zinc selenide optics manufactured according to customer drawings and optical specifications. Components can be produced as lenses, windows, aspherical elements, prisms and other precision IR optics, with coatings optimized for the required wavelength range.
Zinc selenide is a polycrystalline optical material with a broad transmission range and relatively low absorption in the infrared.
Key advantages include:
These properties make ZnSe particularly attractive for systems that require both infrared performance and a broad usable spectral range.
