Product Description: Sapphire Prisms and Sapphire Lenses with AR Coating

Our Sapphire Prisms and Sapphire Lenses are manufactured from the highest quality optical materials, including high-transparency Al₂O₃ (Sapphire), BK7, JGS1, and JGS2, and are available with AR (Anti-Reflection) coatings. These advanced optical components are designed to meet the rigorous demands of a wide range of industries, including telecommunications, laser systems, defense, medical devices, and high-precision instruments.

Properties

High Transparency and Optical Clarity
Sapphire, composed of high-purity aluminum oxide (Al₂O₃), offers exceptional transparency across a wide spectrum of wavelengths, from the ultraviolet (UV) to the infrared (IR) range. This property ensures minimal light absorption and high optical clarity, making sapphire prisms and lenses ideal for demanding optical applications that require precise light transmission.

Superior Durability
Sapphire is one of the hardest materials known to man, second only to diamond. Its hardness (9 on the Mohs scale) makes it highly resistant to scratches, wear, and damage. This extreme durability ensures that sapphire prisms and lenses can withstand harsh environments, making them ideal for industrial, aerospace, and military applications.

Wide Temperature Range
Sapphire’s excellent thermal stability allows it to maintain its mechanical and optical properties over a wide temperature range, from cryogenic temperatures to high heat environments (up to 2000°C). This makes it well-suited for use in high-performance applications where thermal expansion and contraction could affect other materials.

Low Dispersion and High Refractive Index
Sapphire has a relatively low dispersion compared to many other optical materials, providing minimal chromatic aberrations and maintaining image clarity over a wide spectrum. Its high refractive index (n ≈ 1.77) ensures that it can efficiently bend and focus light in optical systems, making sapphire lenses and prisms essential in precise optical alignment and control.

Anti-Reflection (AR) Coating
To further enhance performance, we offer AR coatings on our sapphire prisms and lenses. AR coatings significantly reduce surface reflection and improve light transmission, which minimizes energy losses due to reflection and maximizes the efficiency of optical systems. This coating is essential in applications where light loss and glare must be minimized, such as in high-performance imaging, laser systems, and optical communications.

Customizability
We specialize in the customization of sapphire prisms and lenses to meet specific customer requirements. Whether you need a custom shape, size, surface finish, or coating, we work closely with clients to deliver components tailored to their exact specifications. Our advanced machining and coating capabilities ensure that each product performs optimally for its intended application.

Applications

Laser Systems
Sapphire prisms and lenses are commonly used in high-power laser systems, where their durability and ability to handle intense light without degradation are essential. They are used in beam-shaping, beam-steering, and wavelength dispersion applications. The AR coating further enhances performance by minimizing reflection losses and optimizing energy transmission.

Telecommunications
The optical clarity and high transparency of sapphire materials make them suitable for use in fiber optic communication systems, particularly in components such as beam splitters, filters, and optical lenses. These components help improve signal quality and transmission efficiency over long distances, making sapphire an ideal material for high-speed data transmission applications.

Aerospace and Defense
The aerospace and defense industries require optical components that can perform under extreme conditions, including high radiation, vacuum, and thermal environments. Sapphire’s unmatched durability and ability to withstand harsh conditions make it a preferred material for optical instruments such as cameras, telescopes, and sensors used in space exploration, satellite systems, and military equipment.

Medical Devices
In medical imaging, diagnostics, and surgical applications, sapphire lenses and prisms are used for their high optical performance and biocompatibility. Their resistance to scratching and chemical corrosion ensures longevity and reliability in environments where precision is critical, such as endoscopes, microscopes, and laser-based medical tools.

Optical Instruments
Sapphire prisms and lenses are widely used in a variety of scientific and industrial optical instruments, such as spectrometers, microscopes, and high-precision cameras. Their ability to transmit light without distortion and with minimal chromatic aberration makes them indispensable for applications where image clarity and accuracy are paramount.

Military and Defense Applications
Sapphire’s extreme hardness and optical properties make it the material of choice for military-grade optical devices, including infrared sensors, periscopes, and surveillance systems. The durability and ability to operate in extreme environmental conditions provide a strategic advantage in defense applications.
