Sapphire physical property
Sapphire glass is manufactured from single crystal
sapphire(Al2O3 ), making them ideal for demanding applications
(such as laser systems) because of their extreme surface hardness,
high thermal conductivity, high dielectric constant and resistance
to common chemical acids and alkalis. Sapphire is the second
hardest crystal next to diamonds and, because of their structural
strength, sapphire windows can be made much thinner than other
common dielectric windows with improved transmittance. Chemically,
sapphire is single crystal aluminum oxide (Al2O3), and is useful in
a transmission range from 0.2 - 5.5µm.
Why choose sapphire glass ?
1- Thinner and Stronger than Standard Glass Windows
2- Transmits Wavelengths Ranging From UV to Mid-Infrared
3- Features Extreme Surface Hardness and Chemical Resistance
