VIS-EXT AR Coated Sapphire Window for protective viewports ,D50.0×T8.0mm
Sapphire is a single crystal material that has excellent light transmission properties and can work in the visible and infrared light ranges. It has high hardness, high corrosion resistance, high heat resistance and good mechanical strength. It has a good transmittance in the visible range, usually more than 80%. In the infrared range, especially in the near infrared and mid-infrared bands, its transmittance is very high, which can reach more than 90%.
Sapphire windows with VIS-EXT anti-reflection (AR) coating are high-performance optical components engineered for extreme environments. Renowned for their exceptional durability, extreme hardness, and high transmission across a broad spectrum, they are ideal for demanding applications in aerospace, defense, and industrial sectors. The AR coating minimizes reflection losses, maximizing light throughput from the visible to the extended infrared (EXT) range while reducing glare. Consequently, they are widely employed as protective viewports for sensitive sensors, laser systems, scientific instruments, and high-pressure chambers, ensuring reliable performance in harsh conditions.
