Product Overview

Ultra-thin polished sapphire cover glass is used when a compact optical system needs a thin protective surface without giving up the hardness and environmental stability of single-crystal sapphire. Felix Glass Co., Limited manufactures this product from optical-grade sapphire for precision sensors, machine vision, LiDAR, aerospace-related assemblies, and laboratory instruments.

Direct answer: Standard thickness covers 0.1 mm to 2 mm, with custom thickness reviewed from the drawing. Double-sided optical polishing, flatness options down to λ/10, parallelism targets to ≤0.002 mm, custom outlines, holes, slots, and optional AR coating can be evaluated for the final assembly.

For adjacent formats and thicker protective parts, review the Sapphire Optical Windows category.

Core Technical Features

Flexible Thin-Thickness Customization

Standard production covers 0.1 mm to 2 mm thin sheets. Extra-thin prototypes or thicker high-rigidity variants can be reviewed for special optical modules, with thickness uniformity considered to reduce light-path deviation.

Double-Sided Optical Polishing

Both surfaces receive mirror optical polishing for stable transmission through ultraviolet, visible, and near-infrared ranges, subject to material thickness and the final optical specification.

Mohs 9 Surface Hardness

Sapphire resists abrasion from handling, dust, and assembly contact better than common optical glass, helping protect exposed sensor and instrument surfaces.

Controlled Optical Flatness

Precision lapping and polishing can be planned around imaging, ranging, and microscopic sensing requirements where surface deviation could affect the optical path.

Chemical and Moisture Resistance

Single-crystal sapphire provides chemical stability for equipment exposed to moisture, cleaning processes, laboratory conditions, and industrial environments.

For applications that also require a functional coating, compare the AR-coated sapphire protection window.

Complete Custom Machining Capacity

01

Basic Processing

Straight cutting, through-hole drilling, and safety-edge chamfering for standard cover geometries.

02

Precision Profiling

CNC contour shaping, positioning slots, locating notches, and countersunk mounting holes for drawing-defined assemblies.

03

Marking and Printing

Permanent laser marking for part identification and optional border printing for light-shielding requirements.

04

Optical Finishing

Double-sided polishing, flatness control, optional coating, and inspection planning based on the purchasing specification.

Projects with unusual outlines or multiple machined features can also reference custom sapphire optical components.

Wide Cross-Industry Application Scenarios

Precision Instruments

Protective covers for compact sensors, encoders, microscopic detection equipment, and optical measurement assemblies.

LiDAR and Machine Vision

Outer optical windows for ranging sensors and miniature cameras where surface durability and controlled optical access matter.

Industrial Automation

Protective plates for inspection modules operating near dust, mechanical contact, cleaning cycles, or factory contaminants.

Medical and Laboratory Devices

Small optical sensing windows for portable equipment and laboratory instruments, with drawing-defined inspection requirements.

Aerospace-Related Assemblies

Compact optical shielding parts where low thickness, hardness, thermal stability, and custom geometry are evaluated together.

For a medical-device configuration, see the C-plane sapphire flat window for medical equipment. For higher-temperature sensor housings, review the sapphire optical window for high-temperature industrial sensors.

Production and Quality Inspection Standards

Ultra-thin sapphire cover glass is reviewed through four inspection stages before shipment. The final inspection plan can be matched to the order specification and reporting requirement.

  1. Thickness uniformity testingChecks the thin substrate against the approved dimensional requirement.
  2. Interferometer flatness inspectionMeasures surface deviation under the specified clear aperture and test condition.
  3. Transmission measurementUses spectrometry when transmission or coating performance is part of the purchase requirement.
  4. Surface defect screeningReviews scratches, chips, edge condition, and visible defects against agreed criteria.
Prototype quantities and production batches are supported. Lead time should be confirmed after the drawing, quantity, coating, and inspection scope are reviewed.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the minimum sapphire cover glass thickness?

The standard minimum is 0.1 mm. Extra-thin prototypes can be evaluated for R&D projects after the engineering team reviews the drawing, part size, and handling method.

Can Felix Glass manufacture irregular dimensions and shapes?

Yes. Round, square, rectangular, and free-form outlines can be reviewed with custom cutouts, slots, notches, and mounting holes.

Is anti-reflection coating available?

Broadband AR coating is optional. Please provide wavelength range, incidence angle, coated side, and transmission or reflection target.

What dimensional tolerances are available?

Typical directions include thickness tolerance to ±0.005 mm for standard thin sheets, parallelism to ≤0.002 mm, and flatness options down to λ/10. Final values depend on geometry and the agreed inspection method.

Can the project start with a small prototype batch?

Yes. Prototype and production quantities can be discussed after material, thickness, machining, coating, and inspection requirements are defined.
