Monocrystalline silicon is an infrared optical material with excellent comprehensive cost performance. Optical grade Czochralski silicon (OCZ-Si) as a transmission grade material is widely used in the mid-infrared (3-5um) band, and the infrared transmittance exceeds 50%. Zone-melted monocrystalline silicon can be used in a wider band (1-14um), and high-purity zone-melted monocrystalline silicon (HPFZ-Si) can even be used in the far-infrared band (greater than 30um).

Applications

Infrared thermal imaging and temperature measurement:It's used in non-contact temperature measurement, body temperature monitoring, security surveillance, and vehicle-mounted night vision thermal imaging systems. Optical communication and advanced manufacturing:Used as aspherical lenses or array lenses for beam collimation and focusing in high-speed optical modules (such as 400G/800G); also used in LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging). Industry and aerospace:Applied to infrared detection systems in industrial temperature measurement, gas detection, and aerospace fields.

Key Features

Specialized Infrared Band:Its effective operating wavelength is 1.2–7 μm, with particular strength in the 3–5 μm mid-infrared range. Within this band, it absorbs almost no light, exhibiting extremely high transmittance. Extremely High Refractive Index:Its refractive index reaches ~3.4. This means that, for the same focal length, the surface of a silicon lens can be made smoother, helping to reduce design complexity and surface shape errors. Lightweight and Highly Hard:With a density of only 2.33 g/cm³, it is lighter than sapphire, possesses high hardness, is chemically stable, and is insoluble in water. Good Thermal Conductivity:High thermal conductivity aids in heat dissipation, reducing the thermal lensing effect in high-power applications.
