Uncoated Silicon Etalons
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

Uncoated YAG Etalons
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
