Description
Custom CVD ZnSe lenses engineered to customer drawings for CO₂ laser beam delivery, thermal imaging and infrared sensing, with optical polishing and wavelength-specific AR coating options. Real-world challenges faced by optical engineers, procurement managers, and project teams. Prices are difficult to compare when material grade, coating band, tolerances and inspection documents are not defined on the same basis. CO₂ laser optics require the lens material, surface condition and coating design to be aligned with power, beam diameter and operating environment. Uncontrolled polishing, coating or inspection criteria can cause focal performance and transmission to vary between prototype and production lots. Each pain point is matched with a specific Felix Glass capability and measurable buyer benefit. We review lens form, dimensions, radii, tolerances, wavelength, coating and quantity before defining the manufacturing route. Material handling, polishing and coating requirements are evaluated for the target CO₂ laser or infrared imaging system. Approved drawings and inspection criteria provide a common reference for samples, pilot quantities and repeat batches. Five core engineering dimensions that define custom ZnSe infrared lenses performance and reliability. Plano-convex, bi-convex, meniscus or drawing-defined geometry, including diameter, thickness, radii and focal requirements. CVD ZnSe material selection and incoming-material review according to the intended infrared application. Surface quality, irregularity and clear aperture are specified according to actual system needs and feasibility. Coating design is matched to the stated working wavelength or band, incidence conditions and operating environment. Dimensions, surface condition and optical or coating performance are inspected against confirmed order requirements. Standard and custom configurations within this product family.

Final inspection, protective packaging and shipment. Working days after drawing confirmation Working days after sample approval Available upon request, subject to complexity Substrate material and the actual manufacturing process used for custom ZnSe infrared lenses. ZnSe is used in infrared optical systems, including CO₂ laser and thermal-imaging applications. Final suitability depends on wavelength, laser conditions, geometry and environment. Because ZnSe is softer than many conventional optical materials, handling, cleaning, mounting and packaging requirements must protect polished and coated surfaces. AR coating performance must be specified for the actual band, angle of incidence, polarization where relevant and operating environment. Confirm ZnSe substrate and project requirements. Form the drawing-defined geometry and radii. Finish optical surfaces to confirmed criteria. Prepare surfaces for inspection or coating. Apply the approved wavelength-specific coating when required. Verify agreed dimensions, surfaces and optical requirements. Common questions from engineers and procurement teams sourcing custom ZnSe infrared lenses. Please provide lens form, diameter, center and edge thickness, radii or focal length, surface requirements, working wavelength, coating specification, clear aperture and quantities. A drawing is preferred. Yes. We review customer drawings and confirm manufacturability, inspection criteria and coating requirements before quotation and production. Common forms include plano-convex, bi-convex and meniscus lenses. Non-standard geometry is evaluated according to the drawing and required optical performance. A wavelength-specific coating can be evaluated. Please provide the target wavelength or band, angle of incidence, polarization if relevant and environmental requirements. Prototype and production quantities are reviewed per project. Quantity, geometry, material availability and coating requirements are required for an accurate quotation. Inspection is performed against the confirmed drawing and purchase requirements. Finished lenses are cleaned and individually protected to reduce contact with polished or coated surfaces during shipment. Lead time depends on lens geometry, material availability, coating, inspection requirements and quantity. A confirmed schedule is provided with the quotation. Yes. Approved drawings and agreed inspection criteria can be used as the controlled reference for repeat OEM production. Still have questions? Our engineering team is ready to help.
