Zinc Telluride 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.
