CVD ZnSe windows on slab

Windows

ZnSe windows.

Finished plano windows for visible + IR paths. Uncoated working band 0.6–16 µm (factory: visible / NIR to far-IR; KM datasheet plot 2–25 µm at 6.3 mm). AR on request, including 10.6 µm and dual-band with a 633 nm HeNe. Soft. Gloves. Spent windows taken back for disposal.

  • Bulk absorption @ 10.6 µm< 0.0005 cm−1 (KM datasheet)
  • n @ 10.6 µm2.403
  • n inhomogeneity @ 632.8 nm< 3 ppm
  • Grain size< 100 µm
  • Max sizeDia 800 × 30 mm T
  • Typical Dia12.7 · 25.4 mm + custom
  • SKU exampleKM-ZnSe-W12.7mmX3.0mm
  • AR10.6 · dual-band · LWIR on request

Standard sizes

Typical finished-window diameters. Grade, coating, scratch-dig, clear aperture, wedge and parallelism are quoted to the print.
