Chalcogenide Glass Dome
A multispectral zinc sulfide (ZnS) dome is an optical component made from zinc sulfide material, typically in a spherical or hemispherical shape. It is referred to as “multispectral” because zinc sulfide has excellent optical transmission properties across multiple spectral ranges, including ultraviolet (UV), visible light (Visible), and infrared (IR). Here are some key characteristics and applications of multispectral zinc sulfide domes: Key Characteristics Broad Spectrum Transmission: Zinc sulfide material exhibits high transmittance over a wide spectral range, typically from 0.35 to 14 micrometers in wavelength. High Transmittance: Zinc sulfide domes have very high transmittance in both the visible and infrared ranges, usually exceeding 70%. Low Absorption: The material has low absorption, which helps minimize the loss of light energy. High Temperature and Corrosion Resistance: Zinc sulfide domes perform stably at…
