Frequently Asked Questions

What wavelength range is silicon optical material suitable for?

Silicon is optimized for mid-to-far infrared applications, typically covering the wavelength range from 1.2 μm to 15 μm. It is opaque in the visible light spectrum.

Can silicon optical components be used in high-power laser systems?

Yes. Silicon’s high thermal conductivity allows efficient heat dissipation, which helps maintain optical stability and prevent damage when exposed to high-power infrared laser beams.

What are the main differences between CZ silicon and FZ silicon?

CZ (Czochralski) silicon has higher oxygen content and lower production cost, suitable for general infrared and electronic applications. FZ (Floating Zone) silicon features ultra-high purity, low oxygen levels, and superior optical homogeneity, ideal for high-precision infrared systems and semiconductor devices requiring minimal impurities.

What are the connections and differences between silicon (Si) and germanium (Ge) optical materials?

Connections: Both are semiconductor-based infrared optical materials with good mechanical rigidity and coating compatibility, widely used in mid-to-far infrared systems. Differences: Silicon has a wider infrared transmission range (1.2–15 μm) and higher thermal conductivity, ideal for high-power laser applications. Germanium has higher refractive index and better transmittance in 2–14 μm band but is more brittle and expensive, suitable for high-precision infrared imaging.

Does your company provide custom silicon optical components?

Yes. We offer full customization services including custom dimensions, surface precision, edge treatment, and specialized coatings to meet specific customer requirements.
