Services

Our specialty is growing and machining of synthetical sapphire:We grow sapphire in optical quality (Czochralski method). We also offer special growth techniques for UV-range (ca. 200 nm) with low fluorescence.We even offer sapphire which is practical dispersion-free.

The quality of our products is constantly monitored during the process of manufacturing.

We use the following technology:

  • Autocollimator (Logitech)
  • X-Ray Spectrometer
  • Roughness test aparatus (Mahr, Homel)
  • Profile test aparatus (Mahr, Homel)
  • Microscopes (Zeiss, Leitz)
  • Digital Microscope (Keyence)
  • and many more…

If desired, we deliver test certificates along with the order
