In daily work, we often receive inquiries from customers who want to usesapphire glassTo replace the one currently in usequartz glassThe customer said that the hardness of quartz glass is not strong, which requires frequent replacement of quartz glass components, resulting in high costs and heavy labor. They want to choose sapphire glass with better hardness to replace quartz glass; Some inquiry customers also said they want to use sapphire glass with stronger laser resistance to replace quartz glass, and so on. Today, let's talk about in which fields sapphire glass can replace quartz glass.

Laser system window
Sapphire glass has good transparency in the ultraviolet to infrared wavelength range, with a higher laser damage resistance threshold than quartz glass, making it suitable for the transmission window of high-power laser equipment.
Fiber optic gyroscope and inertial navigation
Its low birefringence characteristic can improve the accuracy of fiber optic gyroscopes and replace quartz glass for precision navigation components.
Infrared optical components
In scenarios such as infrared transparent optical windows, it can replace other materials (including quartz glass) as high stability optical components.
Vacuum chamber window
Resistant to ultra-high vacuum environment, used for semiconductor coating equipment windows, with better pressure resistance than quartz glass.
LED substrate and projector lens
High thermal conductivity (40W/m · K) and chemical stability support the growth of GaN epitaxial layers, accounting for 60% of sapphire consumption.
Surgical blade
The edge sharpness of single crystal sapphire blades reaches 0.1 μ m, and the wound healing speed is 30% faster than traditional steel blades.
Implantable sensor packaging
Excellent biocompatibility, suitable for packaging precision medical devices such as blood glucose monitoring chips.
Smartphone camera protective lens
High hardness (Mohs 9 grade) and superior transparency compared to traditional glass, used for lens protection and supporting ultra-thin wall processing.
High end watch mirror
By using five axis machining technology to achieve complex pattern carving, the wear resistance is significantly better than that of ordinary glass materials.
Sapphire HUD LCD screen module cover glass
Optical windows and high-temperature resistant components
Capable of withstanding extreme temperatures and pressures, used for flame detector window panels and aircraft optical windows, with surface accuracy up to micrometer level.
