Abstract: There is described a single crystal CVD diamond material comprising three orthogonal dimensions of at least 2 mm; one or more regions of low optical birefringence, indicative of low strain, such that in a sample of the single crystal CVD diamond material having a thickness in a range 0.5 mm to 1.0 mm and an area of greater than 1.3 mm×1.3 mm and measured using a pixel size of area in a range 1×1 μm2 to 20×20 μm2, a maximum value of Δn[average] does not exceed 1.5×10−4 for the one or more regions of low optical birefringence, where Δn[average] is an average value of a difference between refractive index for light polarised parallel to slow and fast axes averaged over the sample thickness; one or more regions of high optical birefringence, indicative of high strain, such that in said sample of the single crystal CVD diamond material and measured using said pixel size, Δn[average] is greater than 1.5×10−4 and less than 3×10−3; and is wherein every 1.3 mm×1.3 mm area of the sample of the single crystal CVD diamond material comprises at least one of said regions of high optical birefringence. There is also described a method of making the CVD diamond material.

Abstract: A method of producing a large area plate of single crystal diamond from CVD diamond grown on a substrate substantially free of surface defects by chemical vapour deposition (CVD). The homoepitaxial CVD grown diamond and the substrate are severed transverse to the surface of the substrate on which diamond growth took place to produce the large area plate of single crystal CVD diamond.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing synthetic diamond material using a chemical vapour deposition process, and a diamond obtained by such a method are described. The method comprises providing a freestanding synthetic single crystal diamond substrate wafer having a dislocation density of at least 107 cm−2. The synthetic single crystal diamond substrate wafer is located over a substrate holder within a chemical vapour deposition reactor. Process gases are fed into the reactor, the process gases including a gas comprising carbon. Crack-free synthetic diamond material is grown on a surface of the single crystal diamond substrate wafer at a temperature of at least 900° C. to a thickness of at least 0.5 mm and with lateral dimensions of at least 4 mm by 4 mm.

Abstract: A CVD single crystal diamond material suitable for use in, or as, an optical device or element. It is suitable for use in a wide range of optical applications such as, for example, optical windows, laser windows, optical reflectors, optical refractors and gratings, and etalons. The CVD diamond material is produced by a CVD method in the presence of a controlled low level of nitrogen to control the development of crystal defects and thus achieve a diamond material having key characteristics for optical applications.

Abstract: A synthetic diamond heat spreader that includes a first layer of synthetic diamond material forming a base support layer and a second layer of synthetic diamond material disposed on the first layer of synthetic diamond material and forming a diamond surface layer. The diamond surface layer has a thickness equal to or less than a thickness of the base support layer. The diamond surface layer has a nitrogen content less than that of the base support layer. The nitrogen content of the diamond surface layer and the diamond support layer is selected such that the thermal conductivity of the base support layer is in a range 1000 W/mK to 1800 W/mK and the thermal conductivity of the surface support layer is in a range 1900 W/mK to 2800 W/mK.
