Zinc sulfide (ZnS) windows that conform to MIL-PRF-13830 for use in wide range of infrared, visible, and multispectral applications have been introduced by Laser Research Optics of Providence, RI.
Laser Research ZnS Windows are designed for use in single aperture, high performance multispectral military vision and thermal imaging systems that must perform over a broad spectrum from 0.35 to 12 microns. Water clear and fracture resistant, they are comparable to Cleartran® and are fabricated in sizes from 0.5” to 3.0” O.D. with typical tolerances of ±0.001” to ±0.005”.
Manufactured using Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP) which provides enhanced clarity, hardness, and scratch resistance, Laser Research ZnS Windows feature λ/4 and λ/10 surfaces and finishes to 10-5 scratch-dig. They can be supplied in plano-concave, plano-convex, meniscus, and flat configurations for use in thermal imaging, night vision, and missile guidance systems.
Laser Research ZnS Windows are priced according to configuration, and quantity. Quotations are available upon request.
