A ceries of techniques (synthesis of ZnSe, homogenizing treatment, surface finishing, antireflection coatings) for the production of ZnSe optics have been developed. After devising procedures and apparatus, optics with high, homogeneous optical quality and sufficient size for 5kW high-power CO2 laser applications were obtained.
