Overview

Product description

ZnSe optical prisms provide broadband IR transmission for CO₂ and mid-infrared beam steering. With usable transmission roughly spanning 0.6–18 μm, CVD ZnSe remains a practical substrate for right-angle and custom prism assemblies in industrial and medical laser paths.

YC Infrared Optics machines and polishes ZnSe prisms in-house, then applies AR coatings tuned to the working wavelength when required. Careful edge and apex finishing reduces scatter and chipping risk on soft IR materials.

RFQs typically include apex angle, leg size, coating wavelength, and surface quality. We support both catalog geometries and drawing-driven custom parts.
