Improved quality multispectral zinc sulfide

摘要

Low scatter water clear zinc sulfide with reduced metal contamination is prepared by cleaning an inert foil with an acid cleaning method and also cleaning zinc sulfide to reduce metal contamination. The zinc sulfide is wrapped in the inert foil and then treated by a HIP process to provide a water-clear zinc sulfide. The low scatter water-clear zinc sulfide may be used in articles such as windows and domes.
