Optical ZnSe Right Angle Prisms
Description
Znse right-angle prisms are employed for deflecting light paths or for deflecting the image formed by an optical system by 90°. Znse right-angle prisms usually have a large contact area and angles of 45° and 90°, which make them easier to install and have better stability and strength against mechanical stress.

Frequently Asked Questions
ZnSe offers broad infrared transmission (0.5–22 μm), low absorption in the MWIR/LWIR spectrum, high refractive index (~2.4 at 10 μm), and minimal scatter losses. Its chemical stability and durability further enable reliable prism performance in harsh environments.
A tight angular tolerance (e.g., <1 arcminute) ensures minimal deviation from the ideal 90° reflection, critical for maintaining beam path accuracy in interferometry or LIDAR systems. Deviations cause beam walk-off, affecting system resolution.
A dielectric coating ensures >99% reflectivity across specific angles and wavelengths, bypassing the critical angle limitations of total internal reflection (TIR). This allows flexibility in incidence angles and broadband performance.
