Overview: Sapphire Windows provide a transmission range extending from the UV
to the MIR. The uncoated sapphire windows are designed for
applications in the 150 nm - 4.5 μm range. AR coated sapphire
windows feature anti-reflective coatings for 1.65 µm - 3.0 µm or
2.0 µm - 5.0 µm on both sides. Sapphire windows are well known for its exceptional surface
hardness. They can only be scratched by a few materials other than
themselves. Our sapphire windows are z-cut so that the c-axis of the crystal is
parallel with the optical axis, removing birefringence effects on
transmitted light.
