Sapphire dome offers better optical performance and durability over other substrate materials. It provides a very strong and durable protective environment to house other optical components, and is useful over a wide transmission band (150nm - 6000nm).
Bluebean Optical's Sapphire domes are ideal for high durability and accuracy applications including high speed missile domes, viewports, and other front surface optics.
With our highly repeatable 5-axis spherical machining center and scooping tools, we fabricate optical domes of Sapphire, Quartz, Glass, Silicon and Germanium in sizes up to 200mm diameter.
Our Capability Features:
- High form accuracy
- Flexible Substrates
- Strict process control
- Low running costs
- High throughput
- Quick turnaround
