Applications

Key Features
Silicon (Si) is grown by Czochralski (CZ) pulling. Included oxides cause absorption in the 9μm band; float-zone (FZ) growth can avoid this. Optical silicon is generally lightly doped, with resistivity of 5–40 ohm-centimeters, for optimum transmission above 10μm, usually with boron for P type or phosphorus for N type. The source states that doped silicon has another passband from 30–100μm, effective only in very-high-resistivity uncompensated material. CZ silicon is commonly used as a substrate for infrared reflectors and windows in the 1.5–8μm region. Strong absorption around 9μm makes it unsuitable for CO2-laser transmission, but high thermal conductivity and low density make it useful for laser mirrors.
