Optical components, detection windows and other applications

Because of its ideal optical and mechanical properties, sapphire single crystals can be made into experimental optical elements, such as lenses, prisms, and mirrors, and detection instruments for scientific research, such as gravity wave detection instruments. Sapphire single crystals can be used as observation windows and observation windows for equipment and instruments that work in a variety of harsh environments such as high temperature and high pressure due to its transmission wavelength, high transmission, high strength, high temperature resistance, abrasion resistance, and corrosion resistance. Detection window, corrosion-resistant coal, gas, and oil well detection sensors and detector windows, etc.

In other civilian applications, sapphire can also be used as medical surgical tools, precision instrument housings, precision mechanical bearings, high-end watches, and jewelry. There are also various cups and utensils, transparent lamps and eye protection lenses.
