With a high transmission from 150nm up to around 5\u00b5m, not only is <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shalomeo.com\/cat_detail?path=23_274_480\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">sapphire windows<\/a><\/strong> an outstanding choice for ultraviolet (UV) and visible wavelengths but it&#8217;s also an optimum substrate for applications operating within the infrared (IR) spectrum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With excellent mechanical strength, scratch-resistance and hardness as well as an optimal thermal and chemical resistance, sapphire window is a perfect substrate choice for protective optical components, such as Windows. Furthermore, its durability means it repels attacks from harsh environments, meaning it&#8217;s suitable for a diverse variety of end applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Available in three options, Random Cut, Fluorescence-Free (custom-made only) and C-Cut and Z-Cut options, our sapphire window meet a range of high-precision IR requirements. Furthermore, all four types are available as custom-made components to meet a wide range of project requirements. This option allows you, as the specifier, to choose the dimensions, tolerances, shapes and coatings that are best suited to your project.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sapphire crystal (Al2O3) is a sought-after materia &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[2],"tags":[23],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.shalomeo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1177"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.shalomeo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.shalomeo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.shalomeo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.shalomeo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1177"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.shalomeo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1177\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.shalomeo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1177"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.shalomeo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1177"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.shalomeo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1177"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
