KM datasheet values

From KM Innovation’s ZnSe data sheet. Lot data on the quote. These are not a substitute for the PDF. An older graphic on a leftover Korean factory page lists different thermal/mechanical numbers — we do not use that table. Canonical values are this PDF.

0.6 µm510.616 µm

Factory English page: near-IR to far-IR. Factory Korean page: visible to far-IR. KM datasheet plot at 6.3 mm thickness: 2–25 µm curve, high transmittance through ~14 µm then falling. This USA desk uses 0.6–16 µm as the uncoated working band (HeNe 0.633 µm + CO2 10.6 µm). Uncoated Fresnel loss ~17% per face (n = 2.403).
