Abstract
Zinc Sulphide is widely used in the fabrication of windows/domes transmitti ng in the far IR range (8-12 mum). Fabrication of zinc sulphide windows fro m ZnS powder prepared by a modified acid process has been described. IR tra nsmission of these windows in 8-12 mum region has been found to be strongly dependent upon grain size of the windows.
