Zinc Selenide (ZnSe)

By utilizing our optical design engineering, optics fabrication, and thin-film coating capabilities, Vital Optics Technology can offer optics from the initial design stage to finished optical elements or even complete systems. VOT has one of the largest chemical vapor deposition manufacturing facilities for the growth of ZnSe in the world enabling us to provide the highest quality Zinc Selenide lens blanks and finished optics to customers all over the globe.

Zinc Selenide optical components are widely used in laser systems, IR thermal imaging systems, thermometry and spectroscopy applications, and many opto-electronic applications. Its wide band gap makes it appropriate for use in both detectors and emitters. The excellent homogeneity and uniformity of lenses manufactured from VOT’s ZnSe ensure superior optical performance, making them ideal for use as protective windows or optical elements in high-resolution forward-looking infrared thermal imaging equipment and other applications.

VOT continues to expand its product offerings to meet the demands of CO2 laser manufacturers, laser product distributors, and end-consumers seeking high-quality infrared optics at an affordable price. We also offer diameter- and thickness-toleranced lens blanks, shaped/generated blanks, polished optics, and a variety of coatings for Zinc Selenide optical elements.
