ZnSe is a yellow transparent polycrystalline optical material with grain size about70μm and transmission0.5-15μm. Chemical-vapor-deposited material has virtually no impurity absorption and very low scattering. Low absorption at10.6μm makes it a preferred material for high-power CO2-laser optics and other systems across its transmission band.

Applications

Full and partial reflectors, beam expanders, flat-field lenses, mid-IR optics, plano-convex and meniscus cutting lenses for10.6μm CO2 lasers at various powers, gold-coated reflectors and circular-polarization optics; lasers, medicine, astronomy and infrared night vision. Optical components for high-power CO2 laser systems; infrared optical systems.

Key Features

High thermal-shock tolerance. Hardness is only2/3 that of multispectral-grade ZnS; the soft surface scratches readily, and high refractive index requires a hard antireflection coating for protection and transmission. High-power optics require strict control of bulk absorption/internal defects, minimally damaging polishing and high-optical-quality coating.
