Sapphire is an ideal window material. It has excellent transmittance from the ultraviolet to the mid-infrared, it exhibits high thermal conductivity, and it has very high surface hardness, making it more resistant to scratches than BK7 or fused silica.
Non-coated and AR coated products are available.

NOTES! |
|
|
Sapphire transmits ultraviolet light, but sometimes exhibit fluorescence when subjected to powerful ultraviolet sources. For this reason, they are best suited for use with visible to infrared wavelengths. |
|
Be sure to wear laser safety goggles when checking optical path and adjusting optical axis. |
