Introduction: Silicon windows can be divided into two types: coated and uncoated. They can be processed according to customer requirements. They are suitable for near-infrared bands in the 1.2-8μm region. Because silicon material has the characteristics of low density (its density is half that of germanium material or zinc selenide material), it is especially suitable for some occasions that are sensitive to weight requirements, especially for applications in the 3-5um band. The Knoop hardness of silicon is 1150, which is harder than germanium and is not brittle as germanium. However, because it has a strong absorption band at 9um, it is not suitable for transmission applications of carbon dioxide lasers.

 

Product Details:

Silicon (Si) single crystal is a chemically inert material with high hardness and insoluble in water. It has good light transmission in the 1-7μm band, and it also has good light transmission in the far-infrared band 300-300μm Performance, this is a feature that other light and infrared materials do not have. Silicon (Si) single crystals are usually used as substrates for 3-5μm mid-wave infrared optical windows and optical filters. Due to the good thermal conductivity and low density of this material, it is also used to make laser mirrors or infrared temperature measurement and infrared optical lenses. Commonly used materials, the product can be coated or uncoated.

 

Application areas:

Infrared thermometer, infrared thermal imager, infrared lens, etc.
