Product Introduction
CVD zinc selenide (ZnSe) boasts high purity, excellent environmental stability, and ease of processing. It exhibits low optical transmission loss and outstanding light-transmitting properties, making it the preferred material for high-power CO2 laser optical components. Additionally, thanks to its uniform refractive index and exceptional consistency, ZnSe is an ideal choice for protective windows and optical elements in forward-looking infrared (FLIR) thermal imaging systems. Beyond that, this infrared material is also widely used as windows and lenses in medical devices, industrial thermal radiation meters, and infrared spectrometers.
