Element Six is the
world's leading
developer and
producer of
technical solutions
with diamond.
Diamond products
from Element Six use
the unique
properties of both
synthetic and
natural diamond. Our
solutions with
diamond meet the
exacting needs of
our customers in
optical, thermal,
cutting and
electronic
applications Element
Six continually
exploring new
applications and
areas where diamond
fulfils customers'
requirements far
better than any
other material.
Diamond, with its
unique combination
of properties is an
excellent material
for various
optoelectronic
applications.
Advantages of diamond etalons for
DWDM
Synthetic single crystal CVD
diamond with constant material
properties.
Very high thermal conductivity
of diamond makes the etalon
insensitive to case temperature
variations (Dflock
± 35 MHz).
Low dn/dT and CTE means smaller
wave length drift with
temperature compared to fused
silica.
One product can cover both C and
L bands.
High refractive index allows
uncoated usage.
Simple handling: unbreakable,
unscratchable.
Production capability for high
volumes.
Optical coatings are being
developed for high finesse
