Sapphire Glass is slightly birefringent in different crystal orientations—meaning it has two refractive indices when light enters the optic. To remove the birefringence sapphire needs to be cut so that the c-axis is parallel to the optical axis. There are different methods of growing sapphire for optics. Standard grade sapphire can be grown via Verneuil and Czochralski methods, whilst for High Hardness Sapphire, the Kyropulos method is used. If there are impurities within the lattice, such as iron (Fe) or chromium (Cr) then sapphire can fluoresce when illuminated by UV light. Fluorescence free substrate can be grown from pure seed samples.
