Infrared System Challenges Solved By CVD ZnSe & ZnS IR Windows

Common optical glass blocks infrared radiation and cannot be used for MWIR / LWIR transmission. CVD ZnSe and CVD ZnS are classic infrared substrate materials with low absorption in the infrared spectrum. ZnSe performs best for CO₂ laser (10.6μm) transmission; multispectral CVD ZnS works reliably over a broad IR range and offers superior mechanical strength and impact resistance. Precision polished ZnSe / ZnS windows suppress scattering and absorption loss, protecting internal infrared detector chips and laser resonators from dust, moisture and mechanical damage.

High Purity CVD Raw Material

Chemical vapor deposited ZnSe / ZnS blanks, low impurity, low scattering, stable infrared transmission performance batch to batch.

Broad IR Transmission Coverage

ZnSe optimized for 10.6μm CO2 laser; Multispectral ZnS covers MWIR to LWIR for thermal imaging and multispectral optics.

Full Custom Geometry & Coatings

Custom diameter, thickness, chamfer, wedge, domed profile; DLC, AR, BBAR anti-reflection coatings for infrared wavelengths available.

Attention to specification

Material & Optical Technical Parameters For Engineering Review

CVD ZnSe features excellent homogeneity and ultra-low absorption at 10.6μm, the preferred substrate for CO₂ laser cutting heads and laser resonators. Multispectral CVD ZnS has higher hardness and erosion resistance, suitable for harsh-environment thermal imaging windows and airborne IR domes. We supply uncoated windows, single-band AR, broadband BBAR and DLC hard carbon coating to improve scratch resistance and anti-reflection performance.

From Prototype Sampling To Mass ZnSe ZnS IR Window Orders

We support small batch prototype samples and large-volume serial manufacturing of CVD ZnSe and multispectral ZnS infrared windows. To get an accurate quotation, please specify substrate type, size, surface quality, coating requirement, quantity and working environment. ZnSe is softer and needs careful handling; MS ZnS offers better hardness and weather resistance for outdoor and airborne applications. Our infrared optical engineers can advise material and coating selection for your MWIR, LWIR or CO₂ laser project.

ZnSe vs Multispectral ZnS: How To Choose Your IR Window Material

Choose CVD ZnSe When

Main working wavelength is 10.6μm CO₂ laser; priority is ultra-low absorption and excellent optical homogeneity.

Choose Multispectral CVD ZnS When

System covers broad IR bands, requires higher mechanical hardness, abrasion resistance and outdoor / airborne rugged use.

Choose DLC Coating When

The IR window faces dust, sand erosion, frequent cleaning or high abrasion risk; DLC greatly improves surface durability.
