limpid

[Petra]

Anyone have an example of a limpid diamond; where the diamond has been cut to show off the transparency, not the brilliance?

Merry Christmas

The only applications that I know of involve specialty lazers - where a diamond window is used for both transparency and the ability to transfer heat (diamond is an extremely good condutor of heat).

I will note that these are small diameter laser beams - and it occurs to me that the diamonds must be close to IF or the flaws would heat up and crack the diamond.
