Falcon Sapphire is a Latvian manufacturer of monocrystalline sapphire and germanium optical components.
“Monocrystalline sapphire is a single-crystal form of aluminium oxide (Al₂O₃) — chemically identical to natural sapphire but grown in controlled industrial conditions. Its single-crystal structure gives it exceptional optical clarity, mechanical hardness (9 on the Mohs scale), and thermal stability — properties that make it suitable for precision optical, medical, and electronic applications.”
“The Kyropoulos method grows large sapphire crystals by slowly cooling a molten alumina bath around a seed crystal. It produces some of the largest and highest-purity sapphire boules available — Falcon Sapphire produces boules of 100+ kg with exceptional optical homogeneity and minimal structural defects. KY is considered the leading method for demanding optical and precision applications.”
“Our standard is 5N purity (99.999% Al₂O₃). We grow exclusively monocrystalline sapphire using high-purity alumina feedstock. UV grade and First Optical Grade are available for the most demanding applications. All material is grown within the European Union.”
“We supply sapphire in C-plane, A-plane, M-plane, and R-plane orientations to ±0.01° plane accuracy. Other orientations are available on request — talk to us about your specific requirement.”
