  • 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.
