Zinc Sulfide Plano-Convex Lens

Product Overview
The zinc sulfide (ZnS) plano-convex lens is an optical component with a flat front surface and a convex rear surface. It offers high optical transmittance and is suitable for multiple spectral bands, including near-infrared, mid-infrared, and far-infrared. This lens is primarily used for beam direction control, commonly applied for beam expansion or light reflection. The convex surface directs light in different directions, while the flat surface ensures parallel light transmission. Zinc sulfide plano-convex lenses are widely used in LiDAR systems, optical sensors, projectors, and other optical equipment.
