Silicon (Si) Windows have the advantages of wide transmission band (covering 1.2-7um), low cost and low density, which are very suitable for weight-sensitive applications, especially in the 1.65 - 5μm area.
CRYSMIT offers high precision optical grade Silicon windows with Flatness of Lambda/20 and Surface Quality of 10/5.
Czochralski (Cz) Silicon is commonly used as a substrate material for infrared reflectors and windows in the 1.5 μ m-8 μ m region. It is frequently used for laser mirrors because of its high thermal conductivity and low density. Silicon is also a useful transmitter in 20 μ m range.
CRYSMIT manufactures silicon windows with diameters ranging from 3 mm to 300 mm. We offer options for AR coating or DLC coating to enhance their performance and durability.
