Sapphire windows with through holes are often used in applications requiring high durability, scratch resistance, and excellent optical properties. These windows are typically made from a single crystal of sapphire (aluminum oxide) and feature precision-drilled holes for various purposes, such as optical alignment, mounting, or allowing the passage of gases or fluids.
The process of creating sapphire windows with through holes involves precision machining, usually using laser drilling techniques. The holes can be drilled with high precision and can vary in size, shape, and arrangement according to the specific application requirements.
Sapphire windows with through holes are commonly used in high-pressure and high-temperature environments, as sapphire is highly resistant to both. They are also used in optical systems, laser applications, and aerospace applications where durability and optical clarity are critical.
