ZnSe (Zinc Selenide)

ZnSe (Zinc Selenide)ZnSe (Zinc Selenide) is a preferred material for lenses, windows, output couplers and beam expanders for its low absorptivity at infrared wavelengths and its visible transmission. For high-power applications, it’s critical that the material bulk absorption and internal defect structure be carefully controlled, that minimum-damage polishing technology be employed, and the highest quality optical thin-film coatings are used. The material absorption is verified by CO2 laser vacuum calorimetry.


ZnSe is non-hygroscopic and chemically stable, unless treated with strong acids. It’s safe to use in most industrial, field, and laboratory environments.
