Element Six is a company that takes a totally customer-centric approach to R&D and focuses on communication to create solutions for its customers. So says Michael Pearson, head of CVD applications and commercial development at the business, in this short video filmed at Photonics West 2023, which was held in San Francisco, California, in January.
Diamond has many different uses in industry. As Pearson and his colleague Teodoro Graziosi, senior research scientist, explain, the material’s high thermal conductivity makes it great at dissipating heat, while its nitrogen-vacancy centres allow it to be used for quantum applications. It also has a very low optical absorption, making it useful in a wide range of laser and optical applications.
