A synthetic single crystal diamond for wire drawing die; the process of manufacturing it and a wire drawing die to utilize it are disclosed. At least one plane of the diamond for wire drawing die is a cleavage plane of (111) faces, and the drawing hole of wire drawing die lies vertical to the cleavage plane. The diamond for the wire drawing die is produced by providing a synthetic single crystal having 20-400 ppm nitrogen of Ib type diamond. A groove is made on the diamond surface parallel to (111) faces employing energy beams such as a laser beam, an ion beam and an electron beam. A wedge is struck into the groove to cleave the diamond, and a plate is obtained. Furthermore, the plate is divided into polyhedrons, employing either an energy beam or a blade. The cleavage plane of the polyhedron is almost parallel to the (111) faces of crystal, therefore the cleavage plane is used as the standard plane to build the drawing hole.

An infrared optical part comprised of a synthetic diamond single crystal, and a method of making the same. The infrared optical part is comprised of a synthetic diamond having a nitrogen content of not more than 5 ppm and a boron content of not more than 3 ppm, wherein the parallelism between its light incident and reflecting surfaces is not more than one minute. The infrared optical part is used as a window member in infrared spectral analysis. It is also used in the form of a pair of anvils for holding a sample therebetween in connection with the measurement of transmitted light that has passed through the sample after the sample is compressed. The part is also used in the form of an infrared ATR prism. The method involves the steps of abrading an infrared optical part having the above mentioned nitrogen and boron content by a grinder, measuring the parallelism between the light incident and reflecting surfaces of the part by laser light, and smoothing the grinding apparatus, whereby the parallelism is set to a level of not more than 2.91.times.10.sup.-4 radians.

A diamond laser formed of a synthetic diamond provides a high output power and a variable wavelength in the near infrared region. The maximum value of the optical density of H2 centers in the direction of the pumping light is in the range of 0.01 to 4. Laser action is caused in the range of 1000 to 1400 nm by an external pumping light at 650 to 950 nm. Such a diamond laser is produced by preparing a synthetic Ib type diamond having a nitrogen concentration within the range of 1.times.10.sup.17 to 8.5 10.sup.19 atoms/cm.sup.3, subjecting this synthetic diamond to an electron irradiation with a dose of not less than 5.times.10.sup.17 electrons/cm.sup.2, and heat-treating the synthetic diamond in a vacuum of not more than 1 Torr or in an inert gas atmosphere and at a temperature within the range of 1400.degree. to 1850.degree. C. If the threshold value of the pumping light intensity necessary for causing laser action is Ith then, to make the pumping light intensity I greater than Ith throughout the laser crystal, it is important, that the maximum value of the optical density of H2 is within the range between 0.01 and 4.

A method of manufacturing a diamond laser crystal having an excellent laser efficiency is performed by first, preparing a synthetic type Ib diamond containing at least 60 volume percent of a (111) plane growth sector (43) is prepared. This synthetic diamond is then thermally treated under high temperature/high pressure, so that type Ib nitrogen contained in the synthetic diamond is converted to type IaA nitrogen. Thereafter an electron beam is applied to the synthetic diamond in order to generate vacancies in the synthetic diamond. Finally annealing is performed on the synthetic diamond to form H3 centers by coupling the type IaA nitrogen atoms contained in the synthetic diamond, with the vacancies. According to this method, the H3 centers can be formed in the synthetic type Ib diamond at high concentration, while formation of NV centers which become an obstacle to laser action, can be suppressed.
