Product Features:

1. Zinc selenide is an excellent infrared optical material with high light transmission performance. Its transmission range is broad, covering from visible light to the mid-infrared region, especially performing well in the mid-infrared region of 8-14 microns. This makes zinc selenide an outstanding material for making optical components in high-power CO2 laser systems.

2. Zinc selenide has a low dispersion, which means that the refractive difference between different wavelengths of light passing through the zinc selenide film is small. This characteristic helps reduce aberrations in optical systems and improves imaging quality.

3. Although the hardness of zinc selenide is only 2/3 that of multi-spectral grade ZnS, making it relatively soft, a high-hardness anti-reflective coating can be applied to its surface to protect the zinc selenide film from scratches while achieving high transmittance.

4. Zinc selenide has a wide range of applications in laser systems, including the production of full mirrors, half mirrors, beam expanders, and field lenses. These optical components play a key role in high-power CO2 laser systems, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the laser beam.

5. The infrared transmission performance of zinc selenide is excellent, making it an ideal material for infrared detection systems. Infrared detection systems made with zinc selenide as the substrate can be used in ground weaponry, enhancing the detection capability and accuracy of the equipment.

6. Zinc selenide can also be used to make optical lenses, filters, optical glass, and other optical components. These components have wide application value in optical instruments, communication devices, and other fields.
