Application




The main USES of zinc telluride and zinc selenide are similar, can be used as a semiconductor and infrared material, and has the characteristics of optical conductivity, fluorescence and so on.




Zinc telluride crystals have good electro-optical effects under near-infrared (~ 800nm) ultrafine pulse action and mature preparation technology. They are commonly used as optical rectifying THz radiation source and detection material, and also have applications in green light emitting devices, solar cells, waveguides, modulators and other photoelectric devices.
