Antireflection-coated sapphire window
Sapphire windows retain high strength at elevated temperatures, with good thermal properties and excellent transparency. They resist common acids and alkalis at temperatures up to 1000°C and hydrogen fluoride below 300°C. These properties support use in harsh environments requiring optical transmission from vacuum ultraviolet to near infrared.

Applications
Demanding laser systems; harsh environments requiring optical transmission from vacuum ultraviolet to near infrared.
Key Features
Transmission over 0.3–5.0μm, with no absorption at 2–3μm; extremely hard and durable; high thermal conductivity; high-capacity damage threshold, as worded in the source. Made from single-crystal sapphire, these windows offer exceptionally high surface hardness, high thermal conductivity, a high dielectric constant, and resistance to common chemical acids and alkalis, making them ideal for demanding applications such as laser systems. The source describes sapphire as the second-hardest crystal after diamond. Its structural strength allows thinner windows than common dielectric materials, improving transparency. Chemically, sapphire is single-crystal aluminum oxide (Al2O3), usable over a transmission range of 0.2–5.5μm.
