ROTEM develops first ever Hyper-hemispherical sapphire dome

The Crystals Division of Rotem Industries (Israel) has manufactured the first prototype of a Hyper-hemispherical sapphire dome, allowing a reflex viewing cone & angle.

With over 35 years of experience in manufacturing sapphire domes & windows for military optical applications, Rotem is a leading player in the optics field of the global sapphire domes industry. The development process of this unique technology was highly complex and challenging, due to its dimensions and geometric characteristics.

Rotem will reveal this innovation in the upcoming Optatec exhibition in Frankfurt that will take place this June 15-18.

Dan Peer, Rotem Industries CEO: "The development of the new Hyper-hemispherical sapphire dome utilized vast experience gained by Rotem during all those years. There is no doubt that this technological breakthrough will arouse interest and create new limits for optical designers, allowing a whole new concept of sapphire dome use".
