Photonics West 2014: Rubicon to Highlight Sapphire-Based Optical Products

Rubicon Technology, Inc., a leading provider of sapphire substrates and products to the LED, semiconductor, and optical markets, today announced that it will showcase its line of optical products for use in defense and aerospace, instrumentation and analytical processing, sensors and detectors, semiconductor process equipment, and medical and laser applications at the Photonics West Exhibition, February 4-6, 2014 at The Moscone Center in San Francisco, California. The company will showcase optical products made from sapphire including blanks, domes, tubes and rods in Booth #904.

Sapphire is a desirable material for high-performance applications due to its hardness and strength, transparency in the visible and IR spectrum, thermal conductivity, thermal shock resistance, abrasion resistance, high melting point and chemical inertness. As a result, it is ideally suited for extreme environments in a range of industries where material durability is just as important as optical clarity.

Rubicon provides a wide range of sapphire products including sapphire cores, ingots, windows and blanks as well as wafers in 4-inch, 6-inch and 8-inch diameters. The company recently launched patterned sapphire substrates for the LED market.
