Lattice Materials, LLC.

		Striking a balance IR optics require a constant balancing of resistivity and optical transmission. Lattice sales engineers can consult with you on what balance works for your application.
Silicon and Germanium are materials of choice as optical elements in night vision and thermal imaging systems. Working with these materials is a specialty, due to their brittleness and the need to understand the interplay of resistivity, transmission, and other optical properties. Lattice has made a 20-year specialty of working with just these two materials. “From crystal growth to finished blanks”®, only Lattice Materials has the experience and know-how to meet your needs. Whether your application requires 12 inch diameter windows, 8 inch curved blanks, or polysilicon windows that can dissipate EMI - while maintaining optical transmission... Lattice has you covered.

	Crystal growth We can grow single crystal up to 10.5 inches, and poly crystal up to 13 inches in diameter with whatever resistivity and transmission you need.
Value added services Lattice can supply everything from the as-cut blank to a fine-ground sphere, ready for final polishing. If your curve generation department is busy, use ours instead. We can offer parts ready for final shape generation or polishing. If your application requires a polished flat window, Lattice can supply that as well.	Sliced blanks All sizes and shapes, in whatever quantity you require.
	Curved blanks Curves up to 10 inch diameter, with CNC curve capability for extremely high-precision, polish-ready finishes.
	Flat polishing Mono and poly crystalline windows, of <100> or <111> orientation, with high-volume capability in a clean room environment.
