Book Description
Zinc sulfide has shown unequaled utility for infrared windows that require a combination of long-wavelength infrared transparency, mechanical durability, and elevated-temperature performance.
This book reviews the physical properties of chemical vapour deposited ZnS and their relationship to the CVD process that produced them. An in-depth look at the material microstructure is included, along with a discussion of the material’s optical properties. Finally, because the CVD process itself is central to the development of this material, a brief history is presented.
