PROVIDENCE, R.I., Nov. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Meller Optics, Inc, has introduced custom fabricated sapphire windows for gimbaled optical systems that protect lenses from chemicals, dirt, saltwater, sand, and other fast moving particulates.
Meller Sapphire Windows provide front surface protection for optics used in gimbaled systems and are available with multispectral anti-reflective coatings that can meet salt fog requirements. Featuring Mohs 9 surface hardness, these robust sapphire windows in flat and dome shapes, can with-stand chemicals, dirt, saltwater, sand, and other fast moving particulates.

Exhibiting flatness held to 1/10th wave in the visible and less than 2 arc sec. in/in parallelism, surface finishes can range from 60-40 to 40-20 scratch-dig, depending upon configuration.
