Optical Si windows

Optical Si windows
*Windows are applied to isolate different physical environments while allowing light to pass.When selecting windows you should consider materials,transmisson,scattering, wavefront distortion,parallelism and resistance to certain environment.DND-OPTICS offers a wide range of different materials and different degree of precision windows.

*Materials:BK7,UV Fused silica,CaF2,BaF2 typically,also Borofloat 33,Pyrex.Other glasses are available according to customers' requirement.

*Silicon (Si) is grown by Czochralski pulling techniques (CZ) and contains some oxygen that causes an absorption band at 9 microns. To avoid this, material can be prepared by a Float-Zone (FZ) process. Optical silicon is generally lightly doped (5 to 40 ohm cm) for best transmission above 10 microns, and doping is usually boron (P-type) and phosphorus (N-type). After doping silicon has a further pass band: 30 to 100 microns which is effective only in very high resistivity uncompensated material.

CZ Silicon is commonly used as substrate material for infrared reflectors and windows in the 1.5-8 micron region. The strong absorption band at 9 microns makes it unsuitable for CO2 laser transmission applications, but it is frequently used for laser mirrors because of its high thermal conductivity and low density. Application as window, lens in the 1.5 - 8 um region; Mirror for CO2 laser and spectrometer applications.
