Sapphire Windows Applications

Sept. 4, 2024

Do you need extreme hardness and durability combined with premium optical qualities? Sapphire window applications range from tiny endoscope windows for precision medical surgeries to satellite viewing windows on inner-space circuits.  It isn’t just scratch-resistant, it’s also resistant to chemical etching. One of the more stable optical substances available, it is hard, inert, and thermally stable. 

This article examines some of the chief applications in aerospace, medicine, industry, and research.  At Avantier, we produce high-quality sapphire optics for all these applications.  

Sapphire windows applications range from satellite viewfinders to endoscope lenses and windows for other inter-operative imaging devices.
