YAG Crystal 

Sapphire Crystal

 


YAG Crystal

Undoped YAG Crystal is an excellent material for UV-IR optical windows, particularly for high temperature and high energy density online_orderings, The mechanical and chemical stability is comparable to sapphire crystal, but YAG is unique with non-birefringence and available with higher optical homogeneity and surface quality. Up to 3'' YAG boule grown by CZ method, as-cut blocks, windows and mirrors are available.

Main Features:
1) Transmission in 0.25-5.0 m m, no absorption in 2-3 m m.
2) Extremely hard and durable.
3) High thermal conductivity.
4) High bulk damage threshold.
5) High index of refraction and Non-birefringence.

Sapphire

Large size Sapphire crystals up to 4'' boule are available. As the hardest of oxide crystals, sapphire has a combination of optical and physical properties that make it the best choice for a variety of demanding online_orderings. Sapphire maintains its strength even at high temperatures. It has good thermal properties, excellent electrical and dielectric properties and is resistant to chemical attack. These properties encourage the use of sapphire in aggressive environments where reliability, optical transmission and strength are requied.

Main online_orderings Include: UV and IR Optics; Windows for High Temperature and Pressure, Corrosion Resistance, Abrasion Resistance; Heat Sinders and Thermocouplers; Semiconductor Wafer Carriers; Electrical Insulators; Thin Film Deposition; Transparent Electronic Substrate; Silicon on Sapphire Wafers; Superconductor Substrate.
