ZMSH focuses on the custom production and processing of ruby rods
and components, relying on advanced technology and strict quality
control, to provide customers with high precision and high
performance ruby products. Made of high-purity alumina doped with
chromium ions, ruby rods have high hardness (Mohs hardness 9),
excellent optical properties (high light transmission) and
excellent thermal stability (melting point 2053°C), as well as
extremely strong chemical inertness, and can work stably in high
temperature, high wear and corrosive environments. These properties
make it a core component in lasers, industrial processing equipment
and scientific research, and it is widely used in solid state
lasers, high-precision cutting and marking equipment, as well as
spectral analysis and quantum optical experiments.
Properties of Ruby optical Element
- High hardness and wear resistance: Mohs hardness of 9, second only to diamond, suitable for high wear
environment, to ensure long-term stable use.
- Excellent optical performance: with high transmittance in visible and near-infrared bands, it is
an ideal gain medium for solid-state lasers and can produce lasers
efficiently.
- High thermal stability: Melting point up to 2053°C, low coefficient of thermal expansion,
suitable for laser and optical systems in high temperature
environments.
- Chemical inertia: Strong corrosion resistance, able to maintain stable performance
in harsh chemical environments.
- Laser characteristics: When the ruby rod is used as a laser rod, it can produce 694.3 nm
red laser, which is widely used in medical, industrial and
scientific laser equipment.

Ruby optics: Excellent performance with high hardness and chemical
inertness
Ruby components, such as ruby rods, ruby balls and ruby Windows,
occupy a central position in the laser field with their excellent
laser properties. As a gain medium for solid-state lasers, ruby
rods can efficiently produce 694.3 nm red lasers, which are widely
used in medical laser equipment (such as skin treatment and eye
surgery), industrial laser processing (such as high-precision
cutting and marking), and scientific experiments (such as spectral
analysis and quantum optics).
In addition, ruby's high hardness (Mohs hardness 9) and chemical
inertness make it perform well in wear-resistant,
corrosion-resistant environments, such as ruby window pieces for
optical systems in extreme environments and ruby balls for
high-precision bearings. The unique properties of ruby components
make them indispensable key materials in medical, industrial and
scientific fields.
