for medical device, accurate machine and inspection instrument
sapphire-rods
  • Extremely hard, strong and wear resistant
  • Excellent thermal conductivity/heat resistance
  • Exceptionalchemical stability
  • Excellent transmission bandwidths (UV to IR)
  • Blank substrates, AR-coated pieces, and precision windows are available
  • Sapphire possesses nice light transmission in 0.20 ~ 5.50μm wave band, is ideal for laser and infrared optical materials. Products widely used in endoscope,watch glass, optical lens, surface acoustic wave filter, military infrared window, optical filter, observation window for high/low temperature and cosmetic instrument windows, etc. We can provide anti-reflection film, high-reflective film, dielectric film, filter film and metallized film services.

    Sapphire rods and ceramic rods according to the type of material. According to the type of part structure, they are divided into flat rods, single convex rods, double convex rods, rotor horizontal pins, special-shaped rods, blind hole rods, etc.

    Sapphire rods are mainly made of synthetic sapphire single crystals with corrosion resistance, wear resistance, thermal and chemical stability, and good optical properties. After being made into high- precision components such as stopper rods and measuring rods, it often used in injection plug rods, measuring rods, laser rods, laser rangefinders, laser guidance meters, gyroscopes applications and are widely used in environments such as corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and high thermal conductivity.

    Notes

  • Anti-reflection coatings are also available at your specified wavelength.
  • Sapphire transmits ultraviolet light, but sometimes exhibit fluorescence when subjected to powerful ultraviolet sources. For this reason, they are best suited for use with visible to infrared wavelengths.
  • AOG SAPPHIRE OPTICS provides finely ground and polished sapphire rods for a variety of applications. Custom shapes include ends flat, ends radius, saddle pins, special shapes to meet customer accuracy specifications. The specification of the sapphire rods we can realize is: the diameter starts from 0.4 mm, the length reaches 1400mm, and the surface quality reaches 20 / 10.
