Metallized Sapphire Windows

Metallized sapphire windows feature metallized edge surfaces which allow the windows to be soldered or bonded directly into an opto-electronic assembly, creating a hermetic seal. Since sapphire windows can better withstand harsh environments, these metallized windows are especially useful for chemical and plasma sanitation applications. They also are important in a wide variety of other optical assemblies, including infrared imaging and medical devices. Our solderable sapphire windows are produced by applying thin layers of gold compounds around the edges of the window, and meet MIL-STD-883 solderability standards.
