Saphir-Linse

sapphire lens Sapphire Products is a leading provider of high quality sapphire substrates to the expanding Gallium Nitride LED based market.Substrate tolerances and surface finish are keys to Gallium Nitride device production and yield. Sapphire Products sets the standards for flatness and surface finish. Our strong product development team uses industry standard measurement techniques, such as AFM, X-ray rocking curves and surface analysis to study surface and crystalline quality of substrates. C-axis [0001] wafers precisely oriented to within ± 0.25° and primary flat tolerances to ± 0.5° are available in 2" diameter. Other sapphire orientations, misoriented substrates, and wafer tolerances are available. Sapphire lenses are custom fabricated in sizes ranging from 1/4 in.sq. up to 4 in. dia with ±0.001 in. tolerances in plano-convex, -concave, meniscus, and dome configurations. Suited for use as protective lenses for night vision systems, cameras, telescopes, and sensors, sapphire exhibits Moh 9 hardness which is second only to diamond (Moh 10) and is highly resistant to chemicals, abrasion, and extreme temperatures to 1,000°C. Featuring surface finishes to 40-20 scratch-dig, depending upon size and configuration, lenses can incorporate focal lengths from 3/4 in. to 1000 mm and greater.
