Diamond is being increasingly used as a window for transmitting infra-red radiation. We show here that absorption at the important (CO 2 laser) wavelength of 10.6 μm involves the simultaneous destruction and creation of phonons. Its strong temperature dependence in the range 300 K < T < 650 K is accurately described, without any adjustable parameters, in terms of three main components: the destruction of one phonon of 335 cm - 1 and the creation of a second of 1275 cm - 1 ; the shift to lower energy of the phonons; and a three-phonon process involving the destruction of one and the creation of two phonons. The analysis demonstrates why diamond has to be effectively cooled when used for the windows of a high-power CO 2 laser.
