Silicon carbide optics for the highest demands in industry and research

The Silicon carbide optics from Entegris set new standards in high-precision optics. Developed using the innovative SUPERSiC® material, they combine exceptional mechanical and thermal properties that far exceed the performance of conventional materials such as beryllium, aluminum, or glass. SUPERSiC® is a specially processed silicon carbide (SiC) developed by Entegris and characterized by high stiffness, strength, and excellent thermal conductivity – even under extreme conditions.

The material demonstrates its stability, particularly in cryogenic environments such as those found in space travel or high-performance measurement technologies. At the same time, the absence of beryllium eliminates the health risks that can occur with many conventional high-performance optics. Thus, the Silicon carbide optics from Entegris is a safe and future-proof alternative for demanding optical systems.

Diverse applications of silicon carbide optics in aviation, aerospace and industry

The unique properties of SUPERSiC® make it an ideal choice for electro-optical systems in aerospace and industrial applications on Earth. Whether in precision mirror systems, laser technologies, or sensor platforms – wherever thermal stability, low weight, and high strength are required, these materials are used. Silicon carbide optics for use.

Thanks to the combination of material expertise and manufacturing precision, Entegris offers solutions for applications where conventional materials reach their physical or safety limits.
