Crystal Systems’ highest quality sapphire called Hemex, is used for the most extreme and demanding applications. This special sapphire has perfect crystalline structure with no detectable light scatter.

Hemex material is world renowned for showing no stress birefringence, no bubbles and no other defects; it is the absolute pinnacle of sapphire quality!

Features:

  • Homogeneity of refractive index as low as 0.022 PV (peak to valley) waves
  • Perfect crystalline structure when viewed through crossed polarizers
  • No detectable light scatter or inclusions
  • High purity
  • No discoloration

Applications for Hemex include high power laser optics, acoustic wave devices, low absorption windows and other applications that require the highest quality sapphire available.
