Kerf sapphire dome refers to a specialized dome manufactured from sapphire material with high precision, typically for demanding optical and environmental applications. “Kerf” in this context implies specific cutting or machining techniques used during the fabrication process. These techniques allow for extremely precise tolerances and thin wall structures without compromising the dome’s strength and optical clarity. Kerf sapphire domes are produced with minimal variation in thickness—often less than 25 microns—making them ideal for high-speed or high-performance environments.
These kerf sapphire domes are used in applications such as missile systems, underwater vehicles, and aerospace equipment, where their resistance to heat, pressure, and abrasion is critical. They often meet stringent military optical standards, ensuring superior surface quality and minimal distortion.
We have rich experience in manufacturing custom optical sapphire domes. We can produce a variety of custom sapphire domes, including sapphire hemispherical domes, sapphire hyper-hemispherical domes, kerfs sapphire domes, spherical sapphire domes, aspheric sapphire domes, sapphire domes (Sapphire fairing radome), U-shape sapphire domes, conformal sapphire domes, and special–shaped sapphire hyper-hemisphere dome.
The diameter of Blue Box optics custom sapphire domes can be manufactured up to Φ390mm.
