Large format ZnSe ZnS infrared window with 8-14μm BBAR coating for LWIR thermal imaging

Large-Diameter ZnSe / ZnS IR Window 8-14μm Coated | Custom LWIR Infrared Window

Felix Glass supplies custom large-diameter CVD ZnSe and multispectral ZnS infrared windows pre-coated with 8–14μm broadband anti-reflection coating. Designed specifically for long-wave infrared thermal imaging systems, these big-aperture IR windows minimize surface reflection within the 8‑14μm atmospheric window, boost thermal image contrast and reduce ghost reflections. We support custom round, rectangular and domed large-size blanks, suitable for high-end PTZ thermal cameras, perimeter surveillance, vehicle thermal vision and airborne IR payloads.

LWIR Imaging Pain Points Solved By 8-14μm Coated Large ZnSe / ZnS Windows

Standard small infrared windows cannot meet wide-field, high-resolution thermal camera aperture demands. Without 8–14μm BBAR coating, Fresnel reflection creates bright stray light and reduces signal-to-noise ratio for LWIR detectors. Our large-diameter CVD ZnSe and MS-ZnS windows are precision polished and coated for the 8–14μm atmospheric transmission band. Multispectral ZnS delivers superior mechanical strength for outdoor vibration-prone platforms; large ZnSe offers excellent homogeneity for high-precision thermal optics. Both versions suppress reflection loss and protect LWIR detector chips from dust, humidity and impact.

8–14μm BBAR Broadband Coating

Optimized for long-wave infrared atmospheric window, low reflectivity over full LWIR band, improved thermal signal transmission.

Large Aperture Custom Capability

Extra-large diameter CVD ZnSe / ZnS blanks, circular, rectangular and domed shapes available per customer drawings.

Two IR Substrate Options

Choose homogeneous ZnSe or rugged multispectral ZnS, matched to your thermal imaging environment and mechanical load requirements.

Material & Coating Technical Notes For Engineering Review

The 8–14μm BBAR coating is the core feature of this product, engineered exclusively for long-wave infrared thermal imaging rather than CO₂ laser use. Multispectral ZnS is the preferred substrate for most outdoor, vehicle-borne and airborne large windows thanks to higher hardness and better abrasion resistance. Large ZnSe windows are selected when wavefront homogeneity and low scattering are top priorities, though ZnSe requires gentler handling. DLC overcoat can be added on ZnS versions for sand and scratch protection upon request.

  • Base Material: CVD Zinc Selenide (ZnSe) / Multispectral CVD Zinc Sulfide (MS-ZnS)

Original capability retained

Custom Large LWIR Window Sampling & Bulk Manufacturing

Large-diameter ZnSe / ZnS IR windows have longer lead time than standard small windows due to limited CVD large blank supply and specialized coating chambers. We strongly recommend sharing your CAD drawing, clear aperture target, mechanical mounting interface and operating environment at RFQ stage. Our IR engineers will advise whether MS-ZnS or ZnSe is better, and confirm if additional DLC hard coating is required for outdoor rugged service.

ZnSe vs MS-ZnS for Large 8–14μm LWIR Windows

Pick Large ZnSe Window When

Your priority is excellent optical homogeneity, low wavefront distortion for high-end stationary laboratory thermal imaging systems.

Pick Large MS-ZnS Window When

The optic faces vibration, windblown dust, outdoor exposure, vehicle or airborne installation; higher mechanical durability needed.

About The 8–14μm BBAR Coating

This broadband coating is optimized for LWIR thermal imaging, not suitable for 10.6μm CO2 laser transmission optics.

Buyer FAQ

FAQ About Large-Diameter 8-14μm Coated ZnSe / ZnS IR Windows

What is 8–14μm BBAR coating for?

It is broadband anti-reflection coating optimized for the long-wave infrared atmospheric window used by most uncooled LWIR thermal cameras.

What is the maximum diameter you can make?

We can produce custom ZnSe / MS-ZnS IR windows up to Φ350mm; exact feasibility depends on blank stock and drawing geometry.

Can I get rectangular large LWIR windows?

Yes, rectangular large format ZnSe and ZnS windows with 8–14μm BBAR coating are fully customizable from drawings.

Can DLC coating stack on top of the 8–14μm BBAR?

DLC over BBAR is available for MS-ZnS only, adding scratch and erosion protection for harsh outdoor deployment.

Is this coated window suitable for CO2 laser?

No. This coating is tuned for 8–14μm thermal band. Select our dedicated CO2 laser ZnSe windows for 10.6μm applications.
