Silicon windows. Silicon windows catalog.

Welcome to Silicon windows catalog page. We offer two types of Silicon windows: Czochralsky and Float-zone material.

  • Transmission from 1.2 - 7µm and 8-12µm
  • Available Uncoated, AR and DLC Coatings for 2-4, 3-5 or 8-12 µm
  • Ideal for Weight Sensitive Application
  • Cheaper than Germanium and ZnSe

High Precision Silicon windows:

We can provide up to 300 mm diameter Silicon windows with S/D 20/10; Flatness 0.25 waves at 633 and parallelism up to 10 arc. sec. Custom sizes, specifications, AR and DLC coating are available.

Thin Floatzone Silicon windows with 0.5-1mm thick can be used for 8-12µm spectral range with suitable AR coating.

Contact us for quotation of your custom Si window or Si wedge and save up to 50% from major optical catalog price!

Silicon (Si) Windows manufactured from optical grade silicon are popular for the 1.2 - 7µm spectral region due to their low cost (1/10 of Germanium and ZnSe price) and low density. Due to its low density (half that of Germanium or Zinc Selenide), Silicon windows is ideal for weight sensitive applications, especially those in the 3 - 5µm region. Density is 2.329 g/cm3 and Knoop Hardness is 1150, making it harder and less brittle than Germanium.
