Sapphire – Al2O3

What is Sapphire (Al2O3)?  
Sapphire (Al2O3) is a highly durable and optically clear material, making it a popular choice for advanced optical applications. Known for its exceptional hardness—second only to diamond—sapphire offers unparalleled strength and resistance to scratches, ensuring longevity and performance even in the most demanding environments.
 

Features of Sapphire
One of the standout features of sapphire is its broad transmission range, spanning from ultraviolet (UV) to infrared (IR) wavelengths. This makes it ideal for a wide range of optical uses. Additionally, sapphire boasts excellent thermal stability, allowing it to maintain its optical properties even under high temperatures. Its chemical inertness and resistance to environmental factors, such as pressure and abrasion, further enhance its suitability for critical applications.
