The "140mm double-side polished sapphire tube" refers to a tubular component approximately 140mm in length, manufactured from optical-grade sapphire (α-Al₂O₃ single crystal), with both its inner and outer walls polished.

Sapphire crystal is a critical material due to its high hardness (Mohs hardness 9, second only to diamond), excellent wear resistance, high-temperature stability (melting point ~2030-2050°C), good chemical inertness, and broad-band transmittance from UV to IR (approximately 200nm to 5500nm). "Double-side polishing" means both the inner and outer surfaces have undergone precision processing to achieve specific surface smoothness and roughness requirements, meeting the demands of high-end applications for low loss, high reliability, and precision.
