Meller Optics Introduces Sapphire Prisms
In the burgeoning field of optical technologies, Meller Optics, Inc. has recently set a new benchmark by introducing custom fabricated sapphire prisms that excel in light manipulation while being remarkably resilient. These prisms are designed to bend, split, or reflect light, making them indispensable in industrial and scientific applications that rely on precise measurement techniques.
Unique Properties of Sapphire Prisms
What sets these sapphire prisms apart is their unique combination of durability and optical performance. With a Mohs hardness rating of 9, they are second only to diamond in terms of toughness, which means they resist scratching exceptionally well. This feature is particularly advantageous in harsh environments where traditional glass or quartz optics could easily deteriorate. Sapphire's ability to transmit light across a spectrum from ultraviolet (UV) to infrared (IR) further enhances its suitability for a wide range of applications, especially those involving light refraction.
Meller's sapphire prisms are polished to a standard of 20-10 scratch dig or better on rectangular surfaces, ensuring clarity and performance. They can be manufactured in sizes ranging from 1/2 inch to 4 inches on each leg of a right angle, with options for custom angles and tight tolerances between 3 to 10 minutes. This versatility allows for various configurations, including equilateral, right-angle, trapezoid, and triangle shapes, making them adaptable for diverse needs in industrial, medical, and scientific fields.
Applications and Pricing
The applications for these sapphire prisms are extensive. In the medical field, they can be used in diagnostic instruments where precise light manipulation is critical. In industrial settings, these prisms are ideal for optical sensing equipment, spectrometry, and other technologies requiring robust performance in varied conditions. Their chemical inertness and temperature resilience open doors to utilization even in the most demanding environments.
Pricing for Meller Sapphire Prisms varies based on configuration, size, and order quantity. Interested parties can request a quotation to understand better the cost involved for their specific needs.
