Uncoated Silicon Etalons Solid etalon used to tune a high power laser

Solid silicon etalons are interesting because the high index of silicon (3.4 depending on wavelength) creates a reasonably high finesse without any coatings. The temperture sensitivity of silicon can also be useful (or problematic).

  • Material: Silicon
  • Wavelength range: IR 1.2um to 6.3um
  • Wedge: 0.1 arc second typical
  • Clear aperture: 85% of outside dimension
  • Surface quality: 10/5 or better
  • Matched surface figure: λ/50
  • Diameter: 25.4
  • Finesse and FSR are dependant on the wavelength (see Refractive index for various materials)
  • FSR shown is calculated for 1545nm
  • Thickness: see table

Uncoated YAG Etalons Solid etalon used for mode selection in high power laser

Solid YAG etalons are also handy because the high index of YAG material (about 1.8 depending on wavelength). This creates a reasonably high finesse without any coatings, this makes yagalons excellent for mode selection in high poser solid state lasers. The additional advantage of YAG is excellent transmission in a wide range a wavelengths.

  • Material: Undoped YAG
  • Wavelength range: 250nm to 5um
  • Wedge: 0.1 arc second typical
  • Clear aperture: 85% of outside dimension
  • Surface quality: 10/5 or better
  • Matched surface figure: λ/50
  • Diameter: 5.0mm
  • Finesse and FSR vary with wavelength, FSR below is bases on an index of 1.82
