Silicon is the perfect material for low-power CO2 lasers. This is because of its notably low coefficient of linear thermal expansion, coupled with its gradual increment as the temperature rises.
Additionally, it’s possible to polish silicon on a large scale and add multiple dielectric coatings to improve its reflectance and phase shift properties significantly.
