Solid etalon

 

Uncoated Silicon Etalons

Substrate MaterialSingle crystal Silicon
Surface Quality40-20 laser quality
Transmitted Wavefrontλ/10 at 633nm
Diameter Tolerance+ 0.00mm, - 0.25mm
Thickness ToleranceT ± 0.001mm
Wedge≤1 seconds
Chamfer0.35mm at 45° typical
Clear ApertureExceeds central 80% of dimension

 

Solid silicon etalons are interesting because the high index of silicon (3.4 depending on wavelength) creates a reasonably high finesse without any coatings. The temperature sensitivity of silicon can also be useful (or problematic).

Uncoated Germanium Etalons

Substrate MaterialSingle Ge crystal
Surface Quality60-40 laser quality
Transmitted Wavefrontλ/10 at 633nm
Diameter Tolerance+ 0.00mm, - 0.25mm
Thickness ToleranceT ± 0.001mm
Wedge≤1 seconds
Chamfer0.35mm at 45° typical
Clear ApertureExceeds central 80% of dimension

 

Solid Germanium etalons have a high index (~4.0 depending on wavelength) that creates a reasonably high finesse without any coatings. They also remain transmissive farther out into the infrared that silicon etalons, the germanium etalon will still provide a decent signal at a wavelength of 14um. The temperature sensitivity of germanium is similar to silicon can also be useful (or problematic). These etalons are often used to monitor the wavelengths of long wave lasers.

Uncoated Zinc Selenide Etalons

 

Substrate MaterialCVD ZnSe crystal
Surface Quality40-20 laser quality
Transmitted Wavefrontλ/10 at 633nm
Diameter Tolerance+ 0.00mm, - 0.25mm
Thickness ToleranceT ± 0.005mm
Wedge≤2.5 seconds
Chamfer0.35mm at 45° typical
Clear ApertureExceeds central 80% of dimension

 

Zinc Selenide etalons  have a reasonably high index (~2.5 depending on wavelength) that creates a reasonably high finesse without any coatings.  They also remain transmissive over a very broad wavelength range from 600nm to 20um.

 

Part No.Diameter (mm)Thickness (mm)Wavelength range
ZE025150.50.6-20um
ZE030151.00.6-20um
ZE050152.00.6-20um
