Abstract

Rugged optics are in ever-increasing demand as technologies advance and user adaptation expands. Traditional solutions, such as fused silica or glass, fail to withstand harsh laser environments, causing manufacturers to look for more robust solutions. Additionally, bandwidth and power ranges must also be considered when choosing optics for new laser-based instruments. Advancements in the growth, manufacture and finishing of high transmission sapphire windows have evolved to meet these new applications and environments.
