Zinc selenide windows are the preferred material for high-power CO2 laser optical components. Uniform refractive index makes them ideal for FLIR thermal imaging systems. Custom coating designs available.
Select the optimal substrate material based on your wavelength, environment, and budget requirements.
| Material | Transmission | Key Advantage | Considerations |
|---|---|---|---|
| ZnSe | VIS / NIR / LWIR (600nm-20μm) | High IR transmission, CO2 laser compatible | Softer material, handle with care |

AR 10.6um coating optimized for your application requirements.
Uncoated coating optimized for your application requirements.
To select the right coating, please provide: (1) Operating wavelength, (2) Angle of incidence, (3) Required transmission or reflectivity, (4) Laser power density (if applicable), (5) Operating environment.
Key factors to evaluate when specifying this optical component for your system.
Ensure the material and coating are optimized for your operating wavelength range: Visible, NIR, LWIR.
40-20 is suitable for most applications. For precision imaging or scattering-sensitive systems, specify 20-10 or better.
Consider temperature, humidity, and mechanical stress when selecting material and coating specifications.
