Silicon Plano Convex Lens / SLSI
The single crystal of silicon used in semiconductor has low absorption in the infrared wavelength of 1.2 - 6µm and it can be used as an optical element for infrared light.
It is a spherical plano convex lens that was made with the silicon single crystal.
It is used as a lens for receiving infrared light and in infrared sensors.
Even though it looks like the light does not transmit because of its metallic luster, it is transmitting through a wide infrared range of 1.2 - 6µm.The wavelength of 1.2 - 6 μm or less does not transmit, so it also provides the effect of infrared transmisshon filter.
Since the silicon lens has a refractive index of 3 or more, the lens curvature is slower then when made from standard glass.
