Fabricating Biconvex or Toroid lens with ZnSE

[j***@gmail.com]

Hello folks,

for our next project we ended up with a design which includes either a biconvex lens or toroid, with conicity = 0. We are not sure about how easy would be to fabricate this using ZnSe, is there anyone is this forum with experience in manufacturing something like that?

Best wishes for everyone

Not sure about a toroid, but you could have someone grind you a double
convex lens.. is that the same as biconvex?

(Use to use ZnSe for IR spectroscopy.)
