Sapphire Viewports

UV and DUV Sapphire Windows/Viewports

Sapphire viewports are available with view diameters up to 3 inches, and are bakeable to 450˚C. Single crystal, sapphire windows, with either 0˚ or 90˚ orientation, offer excellent transmission from 250 nm to 4 microns.

UV Sapphire Specifications

Leak Rate: <2x10(-10) atm cc/sec He
Parallelism: <3 Arc Minutes
Flange Material:  304/316 Stn. Stl.
Surface Finish: 50/20 
Thermal Range:  -100°C to 450°C
