ZnSe Lens

ZnSe is a kind of chemically inert material with high purity, strong adaptability and easy processing. It has low optical transmission loss and good transmittance. With low absorption coefficient and high resistance to thermal shock, it is the preferred material for high-power CO2 laser optical elements.

Key Features
  • Dual-band compatibility
    Dual-band compatibility

    Transmittance range covers 0.5-22 μm, perfectly compatible with mid-wave infrared (MWIR) and long-wave infrared (LWIR), with optimal performance at 10.6 μm.

  • Preferred for high-power lasers
    Preferred for high-power lasers

    Extremely low absorption coefficient (< 0.0005 cm⁻¹ @ 10.6 μm), strong thermal shock resistance, making it an ideal material for handling high-power CO₂ lasers.

  • Visible light-assisted alignment
    Visible light-assisted alignment

    Has a certain transmittance in the visible light band (pale yellow or orange), making system optical path alignment much easier than with silicon lenses (completely opaque).

  • Material Characteristics
    Material Characteristics

    Relatively soft: Mohs hardness is only 2.5~3, easily scratched during processing, unsuitable for harsh environments; Good chemical stability: Non-hygroscopic, chemically stable. Good chemical stability: Non-hygroscopic, chemically stable.
