Zinc sulfide (ZnS) is a valuable optical material, especially known for its broad transparency from the visible to the infrared spectrum. This makes it ideal for multispectral applications such as imaging systems and infrared optics. Due to its excellent optical properties and good mechanical strength, ZnS is often used in lenses, windows and domes for military and aerospace applications. In addition, it is available in cubic (transparent) and hexagonal (multispectral) forms, providing versatility for a wide range of optical requirements. the ability of ZnS to withstand harsh environments and its high durability further enhances its suitability for demanding optical applications.
