Zinc Selenide Double-Concave Lens

Product Overview
The Zinc Selenide (ZnSe) double-concave lens is an optical component with two inwardly curved surfaces, typically made from high-purity ZnSe material. This lens is designed to diverge parallel incident light, making it ideal for beam expansion and projection applications. Zinc Selenide is known for its exceptional optical performance and mechanical strength, especially in the near-infrared, mid-infrared, and far-infrared spectral regions, offering outstanding transmission properties.

Key Features

• Negative Focal Length Design: This lens design causes parallel light rays to diverge, making it suitable for beam expansion and projection applications.
• High Optical Transmission: Zinc Selenide provides excellent transmission across multiple spectral regions, including near-infrared, mid-infrared, and far-infrared.
