Sapphire, as one of the hardest, most durable and scratch resistant materials, offers a broad transmission range from UV to mid infrared wavelengths (250 – 5000 nm). It is able to withstand extreme environmental conditions and temperature changes. SCHOTT offers sapphire windows in different supply forms, dimensions, and in customized processing stages.Material:- Extreme hardness & high mechanical strength (withstands extreme environmental conditions)
- Excellent thermal conductivity/heat resistance
- High transmittance (UV to IR)
- Low dn/dT
- High electrical resistance (10e14 Ohm-cm)
- High dielectric constant (9.39 from 1.0 MHz to 8.5 GHz)
Applications:- Infrared applications (e. g. radiometry, guidance, gas analysis, medicine, safety and security)
- High-pressure and shock-loading applications (e.g. chamber or heater windows in chemical process equipment)
- Optical applications (e.g. optical components from UV to IR)
- Scratchproof sapphire watch glasses
Advantages:- SCHOTT offers sapphire material in optical quality
