Overview

Germanium is a versatile infrared material.

Applications

Germanium is commonly used in imaging systems and instruments in the 2 to 12 μm spectral region.;It is used as a substrate for lenses, windows, and output couplers for low-power CW as well as pulsed TEA, CO2 lasers.;One ideal laser application for Ge is a > 99% reflecting back mirror for a CO2 laser with built-in power meters.;A high-reflecting, low-absorption dielectric coating is on one side and an AR coating on the other.;The laser operates on the feedback from the high-reflecting side, but enough power leaks through for monitoring by a power meter.;WITOPTICS supplies these optics for a number of commercial laser applications.

Key Features

The lowest absorbing Ge optics are limited to a throughput power range of 50 to 100 watts before thermal lensing or thermal runaway.;These problems are minimized by properly heat sinking the optic and carefully cleaning contaminated optical surfaces.;Ge is non-hygroscopic and non-toxic, has good thermal conductivity, excellent surface hardness, and good strength.;WITOPTICS carefully monitors the 10.6µm Ge absorptivity for use in laser applications to assure that thermal runaway and fracture do not occur.
