Learn how silicon carbide (SiC) enables photonics and optoelectronics with the Indigo® SiC molecular model which can be modified to illustrate lattice defects, photon emission, and applications in LEDs and quantum devices.

Silicon carbide (SiC) is not only valued in electronics but also in photonics and optoelectronics, where its crystal defects and band structure make it a powerful platform for light-based technologies. The Indigo® SiC model provides a clear way to visualize the lattice where color centers, vacancies, impurities, and substitutions give rise to unique optical properties. By linking structure to function, the model supports advanced lessons in solid-state physics, photonics, and quantum optics.

Indigo Instruments has maintained a substantial inventory of genuine Cochranes of Oxford (Orbit) parts for 30+ years (scroll down to see "Skeletal (Orbit/Minit) and are compatible with every molecular model kit we have sold since day 1. This level of quality may appear expensive but no parts support from other vendors costs even more.
