Description

Zinc Selenide (ZnSe) Windows are high-performance infrared optical components fabricated from high-purity ZnSe material. With an extremely broad transmission range covering visible to far-infrared regions, low absorption coefficient, and high laser damage threshold, ZnSe windows are widely used in high-power CO₂ laser systems, FTIR spectrometers, thermal imaging, medical laser devices, and industrial infrared detection. They feature superior optical homogeneity, low scatter, and stable physical and chemical properties, making them the preferred choice for demanding infrared optical systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is ZnSe suitable for high-power CO₂ lasers?

Yes, ZnSe is the most widely used material for 10.6 μm CO₂ laser windows due to low absorption and high LIDT.

What are the key differences between Zinc Selenide (ZnSe) and Zinc Sulfide (ZnS)?

ZnSe features lower absorption and higher transmittance in the mid-to-far infrared region, making it ideal for high-power CO₂ laser systems. ZnS exhibits higher hardness and better mechanical durability, with transmission extending into the ultraviolet band. ZnSe also offers superior optical homogeneity and lower scatter for precision infrared applications.
