Exceptional Hardness and Durability: Sapphire has a Mohs hardness of 9, second only to diamond, making it highly resistant to scratches, abrasions, and wear. This durability ensures long-lasting performance in demanding environments.

High Thermal Conductivity: Sapphire exhibits excellent thermal conductivity, allowing it to dissipate heat efficiently. This is crucial in high-power laser applications and other environments where temperature control is essential.

Chemical Stability: Sapphire is resistant to common acids and alkalis, ensuring its stability in corrosive atmospheres and harsh chemical environments.

Broad Transmittance Range: Sapphire has good transmittance from the ultraviolet (UV) to the mid-wave infrared (MWIR) wavelength range (approximately 0.15 to 5.5 μm), making it suitable for a wide variety of optical applications.

Compact Size: Due to its superior structural strength, sapphire prisms can be fabricated into more compact sizes compared to those made of other materials, facilitating integration into compact systems.

Applications: Laser Technology, Optical Instrumentation, Aerospace and Defense, Industrial Processing, Medical Devices, etc.
