Description
Zinc Telluride (ZnTe) is a binary chemical compound with the formula ZnTe. This solid is a semiconductor material with a direct bandgap of 2.26 eV. It is usually a p-type semiconductor. Its Zinc telluride crystal substrate structure is cubic, like that of sphalerite and diamond.
Zinc telluride(ZnTe) is a non-linear optical photorefractive material that can be used to protect sensors at visible wavelengths. ZnTe shows its unique properties to help build light and compact systems, it also can block a high-intensity jamming beam from a laser dazzler, while still passing the lower-intensity image of the observed scene.ZnTe material offers superior photorefractive performance at wavelengths between 600–1300 nm compared to other III-V and II-VI compound semiconductors.
ZnTe crystal with crystal axis <110> is an ideal material applied to guarantee a pulse of terahertz frequency through a nonlinear optical process called optical rectification using high-intensity light pulse of subpicosecond. Max Transmission at 7-12um is better than 60%， used in the application of laser diodes, solar cells, terahertz imaging, electro-optic detectors, holographic interferometry, and laser optical phase conjugation devices.
ZnTe material of other crystal axes is available upon request.
The standard dimensions of ZnTe crystal are aperture 10x10mm, thickness 0.1 mm,0.2mm,0.3mm,0.5mm, and 1mm.
