GaSe crystals

Idealphotonics offer z-cut, cleaved surface and mounted gallium selenide (GaSe) crystals. Custom clear apertures and crystal thicknesses from tens of microns up to several millimeters are available upon request. Due to fragile nature of GaSe it is not possible to apply antireflection coatings.
