Custom Conformal Sapphire Dome
Conformal sapphire dome is a dome-shaped optical component made from sapphire, a highly durable and transparent material. These domes are often used in high-performance applications, especially in environments requiring strong resistance to extreme conditions such as heat, pressure, and abrasion.
The term “conformal” refers to the shape of the dome, which is often designed to match the contour of the equipment it’s used with. For example, in missile guidance systems, the dome is shaped to match the missile’s outer structure, reducing drag and enhancing aerodynamic efficiency.
Conformal sapphire domes are commonly used in military and aerospace applications, such as IR windows for missile guidance systems, sensor protection, and underwater camera enclosures. Their durability allows them to withstand the high speeds and thermal stress encountered in these environments while maintaining clear optical performance.
The main advantage of a conformal sapphire dome is that it combines optical clarity with extreme durability in harsh operating conditions, which is critical for many high-stakes applications.
We have rich experience in manufacturing custom optical sapphire domes. We can produce a variety of custom sapphire domes, including sapphire hemispherical domes, sapphire hyper-hemispherical domes, kerfs sapphire domes, spherical sapphire domes, aspheric sapphire domes, sapphire domes (Sapphire fairing radome), U-shape sapphire domes, conformal sapphire domes, and special–shaped sapphire hyper-hemisphere dome.
The diameter of HY custom sapphire domes can be manufactured up to Φ390mm.
