Germanium Crystal (Ge Crystal)

Product Overview:
Germanium single crystals (Ge Crystals) are chemically inert materials widely used in infrared optics. Their transmission spectrum ranges from 2-12μm, making them a popular choice for infrared optical applications. Germanium crystals offer high hardness, excellent thermal conductivity, and are insoluble in water. These properties make them ideal for use in high-precision infrared imaging systems and spectrometers. With their outstanding mechanical strength and thermal conductivity, germanium crystals play a crucial role in advanced optical applications, particularly in CO2 laser windows and infrared filter substrates.

Key Features:

• High Thermal Conductivity:Ensures stable performance in high-power applications.
• Wide Transmission Spectrum:Suitable for various infrared optical applications, especially in the 2-12μm range.
• High Hardness:Offers good mechanical strength and wear resistance, making it suitable for harsh environments.
• Chemical Stability:Resistant to corrosion from water and common chemicals, making it suitable for a variety of industrial settings.

Applications:

• Infrared Optical Lenses:Widely used in infrared imaging systems and surveillance equipment in both civilian and military sectors.
• Infrared Optical Windows:Protect optical lenses, especially in devices such as thermal imagers and night-vision equipment.
• CO2 Laser Systems:Due to its low absorption in the 10.6μm range, germanium crystals are the preferred material for CO2 laser windows.
• Infrared Spectrometers:Essential components for manufacturing infrared spectrometers, ensuring precise measurements.
• Civilian Applications:Used in infrared optical components for security, civilian vehicles, ships, aircraft, and other fields.
