Sapphire Windows AR Coating |
Anti-reflective coatings are applied to sapphire lenses to minimize transmission loss and enhance scratch resistance. |
1. Sapphire, with its high refractive index, typically necessitates an antireflection (AR) coating on lenses to optimize transmission within specific wavelength ranges. |
2. Given their frequent exposure to rigorous operating conditions, sapphire lenses require robust AR coatings capable of withstanding harsh environments and effectively resisting scratches. |
Sapphire Windows Metal Coating |
Metalized sapphire windows are essential for creating hermetically sealed optics suitable for harsh or vacuum environments. |
In applications requiring sapphire windows to be soldered or bonded to metal, the inherent high purity and single crystal nature of synthetic sapphire prevent direct attachment to solder or braze alloys. Therefore, a thin intermediary layer consisting of chrome, nickel, and gold is applied around the edge of the sapphire windows. |
This metallized edge provides a surface conducive to brazing, a process that involves using melted filler metal to join unmelted surfaces. Brazing facilitates robust bonds even in assemblies with tight clearances, making it particularly advantageous for sapphire window applications. Properly executed brazing ensures a hermetic seal, crucial for maintaining optical integrity in challenging environments. |
Through the application of solderable metallization, HYT Sapphire Optics achieves the creation of hermetically sealed optics, ideal for enduring extreme conditions encountered in both harsh industrial environments and vacuum applications. |
