Frequently Asked Questions
They are critical in missile guidance domes, armored vehicle thermal imaging systems, and airborne infrared sensors due to their IR transparency and ruggedness.
CVD ZnS (Chemical Vapor Deposition Zinc Sulfide) is a synthetic material with high purity and uniform structure, offering superior infrared transparency and durability compared to hot-pressed or natural ZnS.
Its high hardness, thermal stability, and chemical inertness allow it to withstand abrasion, extreme temperatures, and corrosive conditions.
ZnS has strong absorption below 400 nm, making it unsuitable for UV-focused systems but excellent for IR and visible-IR multispectral uses.
