Galliumarsenid (GaAs)

Verwenden Sie GaAs für durchlässige und reflektierende Optiken in Anwendungen, bei denen mechanische Härte, mechanische Festigkeit und Abriebfestigkeit von Bedeutung sind.

Coherent produces GaAs with the characteristics required for optical applications by applying laser vacuum calorimetry and other techniques to screen out material with voids, inclusions, or other defects that cause inferior optical performance.

Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) Characteristics

Coherent supplies GaAs substrates of up to 100 mm diameter, and carefully monitors 10.6 µm absorptivity to ensure that thermal runaway and fracture do not occur.
