Sapphire Windows random are extremely hard and scratch resistant, useful for their (UV) ultraviolet, (VIS) visible and (IR) infrared transmission. The material can withstand very high temperatures and also resistant to chemical acids/alkaline, high pressure and strong vacuum environments.
The random optical material is cut to a random optical axis and is birefringent. For higher optical applications you can use ‘C’ cut, ‘Z’ cut or 0° plane cut Sapphire. Additional grades of material include fluorescence free and UV. Used throughout scientific and industrial industries from gas and oil viewports to medical instruments.
These sapphire windows are ideal for harsh conditions and suitable for many other applications like sensors, cover lenses, viewports, pressure sapphire windows and subsea imaging systems.
