Standard Diamond Windows
 

Standard diamond windows are produced from a full range of natural and synthetic diamond materials. The term windows is used to delineate the size of the diamond component, large area vs. smaller diamond components such as heat spreader. A set of highly controlled standard tolerances has been developed to meet most optical applications. Customized specifications can be developed where the application calls for improved features to enable a function of the application. Single crystal diamond windows can be supplied with known and documented crystallographic orientation. The choice of diamond material for a given application is critical. Our Sales and Engineering staff can assist you in making an informed decision of the best suited diamond material for your application.
