Sapphire Optical Components

Felix Glass is a China-based manufacturer specializing in high-precision sapphire optical components, including sapphire windows, sapphire lenses, sapphire rods, sapphire domes, and custom sapphire optics. Made from high-quality single-crystal alumina (Al₂O₃), our sapphire parts are engineered to perform reliably in extreme environments where ordinary glass cannot survive. Sapphire offers exceptional hardness, broad-spectrum optical transmittance, excellent thermal stability, and outstanding chemical resistance, making it the material of choice for aerospace, medical, industrial laser, semiconductor, and high-temperature applications. Key Properties & Advantages - Extreme Hardness: Second only to diamond, offering excellent scratch and wear resistance. - Broad-Spectrum Transmittance: Transparent from UV (190 nm) through visible to mid-infrared (5 μm). - High Temperature Resistance: Maintains structural integrity and optical performance up to 2000 °C. - Chemical Inertness: Resistant to most acids, alkalis, and corrosive environments. - Superior Thermal Conductivity: Efficient heat dissipation for high-power laser and semiconductor applications. Sapphire Optical Windows - Flat, parallel windows for protection and optical access in high-pressure, high-temperature chambers. - Available in various shapes: round, square, rectangular, and custom geometries. - Can be coated with anti-reflection (AR), high-reflective (HR), or protective coatings. Sapphire Lenses - Plano-convex, double-convex, meniscus, and custom-designed sapphire lenses. - Used for focusing, collimating, and imaging in harsh-environment optical systems. - Precision polished to tight surface quality and figure tolerances. Sapphire Rods & Tubes - Solid sapphire rods and hollow tubes for light guides, laser rods, and high-temperature sight glasses. - High surface finish and dimensional accuracy for demanding industrial applications. Sapphire Domes & Special Components - Hemispherical domes for protective covers in aerospace and surveillance systems. - Custom sapphire prisms, windows, and precision-machined parts available upon request.
