Zinc Selenide (ZnSe) Jan 7, 2008

Material for Infrared components.

Zinc Selenide is the most popular material for infrared applications. It can transmit from 0.5um to 20 um. ZnSe based components include windows, prisms and lenses etc. CVD grown ZnSe has very high quality and can be used in high power IR laser.
