Sapphire Optics Built to Take a Beating

When optical systems face extreme heat, pressure, abrasion, saltwater, or harsh chemicals, ordinary materials may not be enough.

Meller Optics manufactures custom sapphire lenses, windows, and prisms for demanding military, laser, and electro-optical applications.

With Mohs 9 hardness and up to 99% UV-to-IR transmission when AR coated, sapphire provides exceptional durability and optical performance.

Our sapphire optics can operate from approximately -200°C to +1,600°C and withstand pressures up to 10,000 psi, depending on configuration.

From precision windows to complex custom optics, Meller Optics builds sapphire solutions for mission-critical applications.
