Germanium glass is what is called a high-density IR-transmitting material that blocks UV and VIS wavelengths. Germanium lets light in the wavelengths between 8000-14000 nanometers (the infrared spectrum) pass through and basically blocks all other light.
Germanium is inert to air, water, alkalis and many acids, which makes it a robust, versatile material. Firebird provides these in several uncoated stock configurations in circular and rectangular shapes but can provide them customized and coated to your specifications.
The Knoop Hardness of Germanium (780) is approximately twice that of Magnesium Fluoride, making it ideal for IR applications requiring rugged optics. Germanium's high density (5.33 g/cm^3) should be considered when designing for weight-sensitive systems. Custom germanium windows and germanium lenses are available in any size and configuration.
By using germanium, extraneous light is sorted out and thus the infrared images become unambiguous. Infrared lasers are also a field where germanium glass is used. Infrared lasers best from the military, who use it for targeting. However, infrared lasers are also used for many civilian purposes in both medicine and industry.
We report on Germanium on Glass solar cells realized by wafer bonding, layer splitting and epitaxial regrowth. We provide a detailed description of the layer transfer process and discuss
