Features

Ideal for Weight-Sensitive Applications

With a low 2.329 g/cm3 density, silicon windows are an ideal choice for weight-sensitive applications. Additionally, silicon is less brittle and more thermally stable than germanium and zinc selenide.

No Birefringence

Birefringence can degrade IR imaging performance, so selecting a material that is not birefringent is important. Since silicon features a cubic crystalline structure, it will not exhibit birefringence.
