Coat Zinc Selenide Particles with Functional Thin Films for IR Optics

11644 – The University of Central Florida invention is a processing technique to coat ZnSe (an IR transparent material) particles with an atomically thin functional film. For fabricating optical components such as optical fibers, a high-temperature melting process is used in which the base matrix and the ZnSe powder are mixed and heated past the melting point of the matrix. This important... Read More

Ultra-Spectrally Selective THz Band Stop Reflector
