Product Family Description

• Low Dispersion and Absorption from 0.6 – 18µm
• High Resistance to Thermal Shock
• Uncoated or BBAR Coated for 8 – 12µm

ISP Optics Zinc Selenide (ZnSe) Plano-Convex (PCX) Lenses are ideal for focusing or collimation of light in the Mid-Wave Infrared (MWIR) and Long-Wave Infrared (LWIR) spectrum. Featuring low absorption and high resistance to thermal shock, ZnSe is widely used in high power CO₂ laser systems. ZnSe is not recommended for harsh environments as it is a relatively soft material that scratches easily, and only has a Knoop Hardness of 120. ISP Optics Zinc Selenide (ZnSe) Plano-Convex (PCX) Lenses are available either uncoated or Broadband Anti-Reflection (BBAR) coated for increased transmission from 8-12µm.

Note: Special care should be taken when handling Zinc Selenide as it is a toxic material. Always wear rubber or plastic gloves to avoid risk of contamination.
