Zinc Selenide Optics Polishing: Process, Parameters and Defect Control
Zinc selenide optics polishing is the final surface finishing step that transforms a ground ZnSe blank into a functional infrared optical element. Because ZnSe is exceptionally soft (Knoop hardness ~120) and contains toxic selenium, polishing this material demands different techniques, slower removal rates, and stricter safety controls than polishing harder IR materials like germanium. This […]
