CeraNova offers optically
transparent ceramics that are essential for an increasing number of military,
industrial, and commercial products such as laser-guided missiles, transparent
armor, laser measurement and monitoring systems, high-temperature furnace
windows, retail store UPC scanning windows, and high intensity lighting.
In many cases, only transparent ceramic materials - not glass - are able
to withstand the high temperatures, corrosive environments, and other extreme
physical conditions that are present in such applications.
Most development has been on transparent polycrystalline aluminum oxide
and transparent polycrystalline yttria.
CeraNova's
current product line includes a range of unique micro-diameter monofilament
fibers of piezoelectric, superconducting and transparent ceramics.
In addition to military and defense applications, CeraNova continues to
explore non-military uses and applications for its transparent ceramic fibers
and ribbons, in particular industrial non-destructive inspection, lasers, and
adaptive optics.
