Sapphire substrates are ideal for use instead of glass substrates when optical transmission is required in the ultraviolet (above 200 nm) or infrared (below 5 μm) range. Low-temperature optical measurements will also benefit from the higher thermal conductivity of sapphire substrates, and they may also be used in high temperature environments up to 2300 K.
Product Specifications
We offer sapphire substrates with two different surface finish qualities. Our 'Standard' sapphire substrates have been polished to a surface quality of 60/40 scratch-dig, have an RMS roughness of ~0.3 nm, and are suitable for most applications (including spectroscopy or thin-film deposition).
In comparison, our 'Ultra Smooth' sapphire substrates have been polished to a surface quality of 10/5 scratch-dig, have an RMS roughness of ~0.1 nm, and are suitable for applications involving atomic force microscopy, 2D materals, or any application where surface quality is crucial.

Chemical Properties
Sapphire is a crystalline form of aluminium oxide (Al2O3). It is formed of Al3+ cations and O2- anions arranged in a hexagonal lattice. It is extremely unreactive and chemically-resistant to acids and alkalis, including hydrofluoric acid.
Mechanical Properties
Sapphire is exceptionally hard with a Mohs hardness of 9, second only to diamond (which has a hardness of 10). For comparison, glass has a hardness of ~5.5. This makes it extremely scratch-resistant.

Optical Properties
Sapphire is birefringent, meaning that its refractive index depends on the direction at which the light propagates through the crystal and its polarisation. While birefringence has uses in various optical elements, it is generally undesirable in a substrate used for optical measurements.
To overcome this, our sapphire is cut along the C-plane which eliminates polarisation-dependent birefringence for normally-incident light. Sapphire is transparent to wavelengths of light between 200 nm and 5 µm, making it an excellent choice for UV and near/mid-IR applications. Sapphire has a refractive index of ~1.76 in the visible spectrum.
Below is a comparison of the optical transmission between our sapphire substrates and our quartz-coated glass substrates, showing the superior UV transmission of sapphire. Note: The lower transmission of sapphire in the wavelength range from 350nm - 1000nm is due to its higher real refractive index (n) causing greater reflection of incident light at the air-substrate interface.

Thermal Properties
Sapphire has a high thermal conductivity of ~40 W/m.K at room temperature. This is almost 50 times higher than glass, and twice as high as stainless steel. This value increases to ~10000 W/m.K as temperature is reduced. This makes sapphire highly suitable for low-temperature optical measurements where thermal equilibrium between the sample and cryostat is required. It is also suitable for use in high-temperature environments up to 2300 K. Our sapphire substrates are polished to optical quality, and have an RMS roughness significantly below than that of our glass substrates.
