CVD Diamond
The CVD diamond performance is very close to that of natural
diamond, so our customers can now take advantage
of thermal conductivity that is five times that of copper in
contrast to metals, where heat is conducted by electrons,
lattice vibrations are responsible for the high thermal conductivity
of diamond. Nowadays CVD diamond made by the
laboratory is used as mounts for high-power integrated circuits
and laser diodes. CVD diamond also has high transparency
for optical wavelengths that range from 225 nanometers
to beyond 100 microns. The broadband optical transparency,
high thermal conductivity and hardness make diamond an
ideal choice for highly demanding window applications such
as high-power IR laser windows, high-power microwave windows
and durable windows for aggressive environments.
The CVD diamond has the following benefits:
· Exceptional broadband infrared transparency
· Transparency in the optical and ultraviolet spectrum
· Excellent thermal conductivity
· Low scatter in infrared
· High fracture strength
· Low thermal expansion coefficient
Please see the viewports section for UHV flange mounted
options. Please contact TSL to request quotations for your specific
applications.
