Gallium selenide Granules are III-VI compound semiconductor materials featuring a layered crystal structure. The product is a high-purity granular form, typically appearing dark brown or exhibiting a metallic luster. It is renowned for its unique direct bandgap (approximately 2.0–2.2 eV), exceptional nonlinear optical properties, and broad transparency range in the mid-to-far infrared spectrum (0.65 to 18 micrometers). This material serves as a core component for manufacturing advanced nonlinear optical devices, high-performance infrared detection systems, and terahertz technologies.
We offer high-quality gallium selenide Granules in multiple purity grades and selectable particle sizes, with professional custom packaging available. Contact us.
