Sapphire wedge refers to a specialized optical component made from sapphire material that is shaped like a wedge. It typically consists of two well-polished planes forming an angle, which can vary depending on the specific application requirements.
Sapphire wedge windows are utilized in optical systems for various purposes, including beam steering, beam splitting, and optical isolation. They are particularly valued for their durability, strength, and resistance to wear, which makes them suitable for use in demanding environments where traditional optical materials might degrade or fail.
Due to its exceptional optical properties, sapphire is transparent across a wide range of wavelengths, from ultraviolet (UV) to infrared (IR), making sapphire wedge windows suitable for applications requiring broadband transmission. Additionally, sapphire’s hardness and scratch resistance make it ideal for use in harsh operating conditions where abrasion or contamination might occur.
Sapphire wedge windows find applications in industries such as aerospace, defense, semiconductor manufacturing, spectroscopy, and high-power laser systems, where reliability and optical performance are crucial. They can be customized according to specific design requirements and are often coated with anti-reflection or protective coatings to enhance their performance in specific optical systems.
