Abstract
We report the results on infrared transmission measurements of non-doped and tellurium-doped crystals of zinc selenide grown from the melt. It was found that non-doped samples feature high transmission (50%-60%) for the wavelengths of 1-22μm. The efficient scintillating crystals of ZnSe(Te) are almost opaque for λ>7 μm. Doping these samples with ytterbium from the gas phase does not achieve any significant transmission increase for non-doped ZnSe samples in the spectral range of 1-22μm. However, it considerably increases (up to 50%) transmission for doped ZnSe(Te) at the wavelengths λ>10 μm. These optical peculiarities were analyzed taking into account restructurization of point defect ensembles created by Te and Yb impurities.
