  • High Corrosion Resistance and Thermal Stability
  • Higher Durability than Glass Windows
  • Transmission from 0.33 – 5.5µm

ISP Optics Sapphire Windows are highly durable and transmissive protective windows that are ideal for harsh environments. Sapphire is chemically inert, insoluble in water, and resistant to common acids and alkalis. Chemically, sapphire is single crystal aluminum oxide (Al2O3) and is useful in a transmission range from 0.33 – 5.5µm when uncoated. ISP Optics Sapphire Windows feature a Knoop Hardness of 1900 and are are resistant to scratches, digs, and fractures that might otherwise weaken fused silica substrates. These windows are often used in applications with high temperatures and pressure such as viewports for vacuum or plasma chambers.
