High-Transmission Visible Diamond Windows (2D-LIPSS Nanostructured Surface)
Product Overview
Semixicon / Diasemi introduces a next-generation high-transmission diamond optical window engineered with via 2D-LIPSS (Laser-Induced Periodic Surface Structures). Fabricated via advanced femtosecond laser processing with beam-shaping technology, this solution delivers film-free anti-reflection performance in the visible spectrum while maintaining the intrinsic durability of diamond.
Designed for extreme-environment photonics, this product eliminates the reliability limitations of conventional AR coatings, enabling stable, long-term operation in harsh thermal, mechanical, and corrosive conditions.
