1. Silicon (Si)  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.   Crystallographic properties Syngony Cubic Lattice Constant, A 5.43 Physical properties Density 2.33g/cm3 Hardness, Mohs 7 Dielectric Constant for 9.37 x 109 Hz 13 Melting point, оС 1414 Thermal Conductivity, W/m·K at 313 K 163 Thermal Expansion, 1/K at 293 K 2.6x10-6 Specific Heat Capacity, J/(kg°C) 712.8 Bandgap, eV 1.1 Knoop Hardness, kg/mm2 1100 Youngs Modulus, Gpa 130.91 Shear Modulus, GPan 79.92 Bulk Modulus, GPa 101.97 Debye Temperature, K 640 Poissons Ratio 0.28 Chemical properties Solubility in water None Molecular Weight 28.09 2. ZnS material: ZnS MultiSpectral Under intense heat and pressure, defects within the crystalline lattice are virtually eliminated, leaving a water-clear material with minimal scatter and high transmission characteristics from 0.4 to 12 microns. This material is particularly well suited for high-performance common aperture systems that must perform across a broad wavelength spectrum.

ZnSe material ZnSe is a preferred material for lenses, windows, output couplers and beam expanders for its low absorptivity at infrared wavelengths and its visible transmission. For high-power applications, it’s critical that the material bulk absorption and internal defect structure be carefully controlled, that minimum-damage polishing technology be employed, and the highest quality optical thin-film coatings are used. The material absorption is verified by CO2 laser vacuum calorimetry. Our quality assurance department provides testing and specific optics certification on request. ZnSe is non-hygroscopic and chemically stable, unless treated with strong acids. It’s safe to use in most industrial field, and laboratory environments.
