Metallized Sapphire Windows

Overview

The purpose of a metallized sapphire window is to allow the optic to be soldered or brazed into place within a metal housing. Metalized, or solderable sapphire windows are commonly used in endoscopes and other hermetic brazing applications. Guild Optics’ metalized sapphire windows can better withstand the harshness of today’s more aggressive autoclaves, as well as chemical and plasma sanitation systems.
