Series MPCX and MPCV optical grade sapphire lenses are manufactured from optical grade grown sapphire. Monocrystalline sapphire is slightly birefringent. The lenses are available in positive and negative configurations. Typical applications include:
•IR laser Beamsteering optics
•Imaging optics
•Chemical & erosion resistant front surface optics
•Focusing Optics
This series of sapphire lenses is currently in limited production. Please consult the factory for availability. Other diameters and focal lengths may be special ordered. We can also supply parts with anti-reflection and other thin film coatings.
Various Configurations can be custom fabricated to customer requirements and specifications
