Ultra Thin Circle Sapphire Windows

Ultra Thin Circle Sapphire Windows
  • High-hardness 9 Mohs, outstanding scratch resistance and chemical stability
  • Material: Optical grade single Sapphire crystal (Al2O3)
  • High transparent to wavelength of light between 0.3 μm (UV) and 5 μm (IR)
  • Widely used for high-temperature, chemical-resistant, and optical applications
  • Great transmittance, about 80%-90% in the visible light spectrum (approximately 400-700 nm)
  • Extremely high melting temperature (2030 °C)
  • Customized by design artwork
  • Ultra Thin Circle Sapphire Windows are widely used in high-performance optical systems due to their exceptional physical and chemical stability. These windows feature very high hardness and transparency, making them capable of withstanding extreme conditions such as high temperatures and corrosive chemicals. This makes them ideal for aerospace, scientific research, and high-end instrumentation applications.

    Ultra Thin Circle Sapphire Windows extreme hardness (second only to diamond), high melting point, and excellent optical characteristics across a wide range of wavelengths.

    Application of Sapphire Windows

    Sapphire windows are used in aircraft and spacecraft for their ability to withstand high pressures and extreme temperature variations without losing transparency.

    Due to their high resistance to heat and corrosive chemicals, sapphire windows are ideal for high-performance optical systems in scientific equipment like spectrometers and lasers.

    Sapphire's resistance to sterilization processes and biological inertness makes it suitable for various medical devices, including endoscopic systems where clear, durable windows are crucial.

    The strength and durability of sapphire make it suitable for viewing windows in high-pressure vessels used in research and industrial processes.

    Notes

  • Optical 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 windows for a variety of applications. Custom shapes include round, circular, rectangle, step windows, wedge sapphire windows, ultra thin windows and windows with holes to meet customer accuracy specifications.
