Rubicon to showcase optical-grade sapphire products
The provider of sapphire substrates and products to the LED, semiconductor, and optical markets will exhibit its products at the Laser World of Photonics in Munich, Germany 21st Laser World of Photonics Show
Rubicon Technology will show off its line of optical products for use in defence and aerospace, instrumentation and analytical processing, sensors and detectors, semiconductor process equipment, and medical and laser applications at the 21st Laser World of Photonics International Trade Fair.
The firm will exhibit at the Congress for Optical Technologies – Components, Systems and Applications in Munich, Germany on May 13th to 16th, 2013. Rubicon will showcase its line of optical grade sapphire products in Hall B2, Stand #163.
Sapphire can be used as a component in electro-optic products used to detect or measure the presence or features of light in a number of optical applications. Rubicon provides a wide range of sapphire products that can be integrated into existing opto-electronic applications including sapphire cores, ingots, windows and blanks.
“As opto-electronic technology and applications evolve, the demand for optical-grade, high-quality sapphire has grown,” says Raja M. Parvez, President and CEO, Rubicon Technology. “Based on sapphire’s unique strength and hardness, chemical inertness, and transparency in the visible and IR spectrum, there’s growing interest in using sapphire in products that are used to detect or measure light. Sapphire becomes very desirable in extreme environments such as military and industrial applications where material durability is just as important as optical clarity.”
Until now, existing methods used to produce optical-grade sapphire windows haven’t met demands for thickness and size in certain military and other applications. The company recently developed a new horizontal growth process to produce monolithic sapphire sheets large enough for use in next generation optical windows for military and industrial applications.
Rubicon will have a number of optical sapphire products of different sizes and orientations on display in Hall B2, Stand #163 at Laser World of Photonics, including sapphire cores, ingots, windows, domes and blanks. Rubicon will also be displaying large diameter wafers ranging in size from 4, 6 and 8 inches.
