Zinc Selenide (ZnSe) is the most popular material for infrared application. Due to very wide transmission range covering 0.6 to 20 m m CVD grown ZnSe high optical quality material is used to manufacture optical components (windows, mirrors, lenses etc.) for high power IR lasers.

Zinc Selenide custom made windows, lenses, Brewster windows, mirrors, beamsplitters and other components are available on request.

Zinc selenide most obvious and important advantage over other materials is its low absorption in the red end of the visible spectrum. This allows the ubiquitous helium neon laser to be used as a convenient and inexpensive alignment or sighting tool for infrared laser beams. Prealignment of optics may be necessary merely because the infrared beam is invisible to the eye, or in addition because the infrared laser beam is of such a high energy misdirected laser beam can be extremely dangerous to equipment or personnel.

Although zinc selenide has this clear advantage over silicon and germanium, unfortunately it is not an easy material from which to produce optics. Firstly, it is not a naturally occurring material and has to be synthesized using a difficult process (CVD). Secondly, the dust, which is generated when zinc selenide is ground and polished constitutes a significant health hazard as a cumulative toxin. Also, it is not a particularly hard substance and scratches easily.

Although the internal transmittance of zinc selenide is very high (absorption <= 0.0005cm^-1 at 10.6mm), the relatively high refractive index (2.4 at 10.6m m) cause reflection losses of nearly 30%. Unless such losses can be tolerated, zinc selenide optics should always be antireflection coated. Because of the high refractive index, single and double layer antireflection coatings can be very effective.

Zinc selenide is not hygroscopic unlike certain salts which are used for windows in the infrared.

Infrared Detectors and Systems (Wiley Series in Pure and Applied Optics)
E. L. Dereniak (Author), G. D. Boreman (Author)

Product Description
This text covers the range of subjects necessary for the understanding of modern infrared-imaging systems at a level appropriate for seniors or first-year graduate students in physics or electrical engineering. The first six chapters focus on fundamental background issues of radiation detection, beginning with the basics of geometrical optics and finishing with a discussion of the figures of merit used for describing the signal-to-noise performance of a detector system. Other topics include radiometry and flux-transfer issues, basic radiation-detector mechanisms, and random-process mathematics.

The presentation then moves on to specific detector technologies and the fundamental mechanisms of detection, paying special attention to responsivity and noise performance. Devices discussed include photovoltaic detectors, photoconductive detectors, thermal detectors, Schottky-barrier diodes, and bandgap-engineered photodetectors via multiple quantum wells and superlattices.

The book concludes with a close look at infrared detection systems and related issues. In the discussion of infrared search systems, the range equation is developed in terms of the optical and detector parameters of the system. A separate chapter is devoted to modulation transfer function, a spatial-frequency-domain description of image quality. The final chapter describes the design equations for thermal-imager systems in terms of noise-equivalent temperature difference and minimum resolvable temperature.

Supported and clarified by 470 illustrations and accompanied by an extensive glossary of the nomenclature, this is an excellent text for graduate and senior level courses in radiometry and infrared detectors. It is also a valuable reference for practicing engineers involved in the use, design, analysis, and testing of infrared detector-based systems.

Infrared Detectors and Systems is a complete, accessible, and timely exposition of a technology whose applications are increasingly important and widespread. Based on courses presented by two of the field's leading figures, this book provides extensive coverage of the background and fundamentals of radiation detection and goes on to examine specific technologies and systems in depth and, in some cases, for the first time in print.

Technologies discussed include

* Photovoltaic detectors
* Photoconductive detectors
* Thermal detectors
* Schottky-barrier diodes
* Bandgap-engineered photodetectors via multiple quantum wells and superlattices

Supplemented with 470 illustrations and a complete glossary of the nomenclature, this is the ideal text for senior- and graduate-level courses in radiometry and optical detection.
