Silicon (Si) single crystal is a chemical inert material ,which is with high hardness and insoluble in water. It has good transmittance at 1 to 7µm wavelength. At the same time, Si Optic also has good transmittance in the far-infrared wavelengths 300- 300µm, which unique compare with other infrared optical materials. Silicon Optics are usually used in the 3 to 5µm middle wave infrared optical window and the optical filter substrate. The material has good thermal conductivity and Low density, which is also commonly used for making laser mirrors
