Alumina as Sapphire Replacement for Extreme Environment Photonic Sensors (ASREEPS)

Oxsensis公司开发了使用单晶蓝宝石的高温光学压力传感器。ASREEPS旨在通过确定低成本陶瓷作为蓝宝石替代品的批量制造工艺，扩大光学传感器的操作范围。ASREEPS的成功完成将允许使用低成本陶瓷作为关键结构传感器元件的构建材料。通过降低恶劣环境光学传感器的制造成本，ASREEPS可以将市场扩展到汽车发动机传感器等低成本应用领域。

Oxsensis has developed high temperature optical pressure sensors using single crystal sapphire. ASREEPS aims to expand the operating envelope of optical sensors by identifying a volume manufacturing process in a low cost ceramic as a replacement for sapphire. A successful completion of ASREEPS will allow for use of low cost ceramic as the build material for critical structural sensor elements. By reducing the manufacturing cost of harsh environment optical sensors ASREEPS can grow the market into lower cost applications such as automotive engine sensors.
