ZnSe-px-38.1-200 38.1 mm Dia. CVD ZnSe Plano-Convex Lens; EFL=200mm Uncoated

This is a 38.1 mm diameter Plano-Convex lens made of Zinc Selenide (ZnSe) via Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) process. The lens is sourced from Alkor Technologies and is currently in stock. It is uncoated and features a focal length of 200mm, making it suitable for applications that require high transmission in the infrared spectrum, particularly at 10.6 µm.

The lens has a base shape of a circle and a spherical geometry. The edge thickness is 2 mm, while the center thickness is 2.6 mm. The inner radius is 0, and the outer radius is also 0, indicating a plano surface on one side and a curved surface on the other. The curvature of the curved surface is defined by a radius of 281.2 mm.

The lens is made of ZnSe material with the material ID 'znse marple-1964'. This material is known for its high refractive index and excellent transmission in the infrared region, making it ideal for infrared optical systems, such as thermal imaging and night vision devices.

Please note that the lens is uncoated, which means it does not have any additional layers to enhance its optical properties or protect it from environmental factors. Therefore, it may be more susceptible to damage and may not perform optimally in certain conditions. However, uncoated lenses can be advantageous in some applications due to their lower cost and simpler manufacturing process.
