Material & Grade Overview

Single crystal silicon features excellent transmission from 1.2μm‑7μm, widely used in MWIR band. It has high thermal conductivity, good mechanical strength and stable performance at elevated temperature. Material substrate does not equal final performance grade. Please advise your working wavelength, operating temperature and coating requirements to avoid improper selection.

Typical Application

  • MWIR mid‑wave infrared thermal imaging cameras
  • Airborne, UAV and gimbal EO/IR sensor assemblies
  • High temperature industrial infrared monitoring systems
  • Optical gas detection, spectroscopy and IR sensor protection

Coating Selection Guide

MWIR AR coating reduces surface reflection and improves infrared transmission. DLC coating delivers scratch resistance and environmental protection for rugged outdoor or airborne use. Combined AR+DLC coating is available for harsh environments. Learn more about infrared optical coating technology.

FAQ Snippets

What data do you need for silicon IR window quotation?

We need engineering drawing, working wavelength, max operating temperature, coating requirement and order quantity. Check full RFQ guide

Can silicon IR window work for LWIR 8‑14μm?

Silicon is not suitable for standard 8‑14μm LWIR. Choose ZnS, ZnSe or Germanium for LWIR applications.

Is there fixed MOQ for single crystal silicon windows?

No strict fixed MOQ. We support prototype, small‑batch and large‑volume manufacturing.
