Zinc Sulfide Regular Grade
Regular grade Zinc Sulfide is 50% harder than multispectral ZnS and is twice as hard as Zinc Selenide. ZnS is used in the 3 to 5 micron and 8 to 12.5 micron region and has a relatively low cost. It does not transmit well in the visible spectral region.
Zinc Sulfide uses include:
- IR windows and lenses
- Missile domes
- External windows
- Beam splitters
- Bandpass filters
- Multilayers
ZnS is available as:
- Disks
- Domes – near net shape
- Sheets
- Windows
- Substrates
- Ultra-thin wafers
- Custom diameters
- Rectangles
- CNC – profiled blanks
- Lens blanks
- Prisms
- Optical elements
