Sapphire hase a combination of optical and physical properties. Sapphire maintains its strength even at high temperatures.It has good thermal properties, excellent electrical and dielectric properties and is resistant to chemical attack. These properties encourage the use of sapphire in aggressive environments where reliability , optical transmission and strength are required.
Main include: UV and IR Optics; Windows for High Temperature and Pressure, Corrosion Resistance, Abrasion Resistance; Heat Sinders and Thermocouplers; Semiconductor Water Carriers; Electrical Insulators; Thin Film Deposition; Transparent Electronic Substrate; Silicon on Sapphire Wafers; Superconductor Substrate.
Other high-precision Sapphire windows,AR- and HR-coatings are available upon request. Sapphire boule grown by CZ method and a-cut Sapphire blocks are also available.
