Sapphire (Al2O3)
Windows
Sapphire is aluminium oxide (Al2O3)
single crystal
and one of the hardest materials.
With its good transmission in the visible and near infrared, high
chemical resistance and thermal stability, it is often used as optical
windows in a harsh environment. Recently, sapphire windows found a wide
use for broadband continuum generation (white light generation) pumped by femtosecond lasers.
Newlight Photonics supplies c-cut high quality sapphire windows for
continuum generation.
Sapphire
windows cut along a random orientation are also available at a lower
cost.
