Safiro nikimwe mubikoresho bikomeye bya optique mubikorwa bya injeniyeri.Safiro ya monocrystalline ibonerana (Al2O3) nayo itanga ibikoresho byiza byubushyuhe bwo hejuru ugereranije nibindi bikoresho byose byamadirishya bikoreshwa mugutunganya HV / UHV.
Imbaraga zo guhunika hafi MPa 2000 nimbaraga zo kugonda zigera kuri 400 MPa ni ibintu bisanzwe bya safiro.Ibitekerezo bya safiro bizwi ko bigoye cyane kandi bifashisha ibikoresho byiza bya Yang (-350 GPa), bifasha kwemeza ko igipimo cy’ingutu cy’ibirahure ari cyiza cyo gukora ku muvuduko wa tiriyari imwe ya gahunda y’ubunini bwa umuvuduko w'ikirere.
Kubushyuhe bwo hejuru bwo kuvura vacuum, porogaramu ya safiro nayo irakwiriye.Porogaramu zishobora kuba zirimo imyuka yumubiri (PVD).Umwanya wagaragaye ko ushobora kwihanganira byimazeyo ubushyuhe bukomeza buri hagati ya dogere 400 C (dogere 752 C), nubwo iyi mipaka igarukira kumiterere yicyumba.Safiro yonyine irashobora kwihanganira ubushyuhe bugera kuri dogere 1800 C (dogere 3272 F).
Nubwo bimeze bityo, hariho ubundi buryo bwinshi bwo kureba ibintu bushobora gukoreshwa mubisabwa nko guhatirwa no kuvura ubushyuhe.Inyungu nyamukuru ya safiro kurenza ubundi bwoko bwidirishya nuko ibikoresho bifite urumuri rwiza cyane.
Kuburebure bwumurambararo uri hagati ya nanometero 150 na 5500 (nm), icyerekezo cya safiro kiragaragara cyane, kikaba gifite umubare munini wa ultraviolet (UV) hamwe na spekure igaragara, kandi ikaba yaguwe neza kugeza hafi ya infragre (IR).Menya neza uburyo bwiza bwo gutunganya HV / UHV bitabaye ngombwa ko hiyongeraho ubundi buso.
Ibikoresho bya safiro ntagereranywa ni urufunguzo rwo kugera kuri ubwo bwiza bwogukwirakwiza, kuko kurangiza neza bishobora kugira ingaruka zikomeye ku kwanduza imiraba, cyane cyane ku mirasire y’umuyaga mugufi.
Safiro nigikoresho cya gatatu gikomeye cyubwubatsi bukomeye kuri iyi si yacu, itanga imbaraga zidasanzwe zo kwihanganira no kwambara.Bitewe nubukomere, safiro ireba ikomeza ibintu byayo nyuma yo kwishyiriraho kugirango ikoreshwe igihe kirekire mubidukikije bitunganijwe.
