This monogram describes essential details of crystal structure and growth, mechanical properties, thermal properties, optical properties, and light scattering properties of diamond and sapphire materials. It focuses on the physical properties of these two materials by providing descriptions for each property and graphical data. The data provided describes the physical property over a range. For example, optical transmission is shown over the wavelength range from UV to far IR for both diamond and sapphire. Properties covered include mechanical (hardness, tensile and compressive strength, Young's modulus, and elastic constants), thermal (expansion, specific heat, conductivity), optical (transmission range, refractive index, absorption), light scattering (Raman and Brillouin scattering). The optical operation of two lasers are briefly discussed — chromium-doped and titanium-doped sapphire lasers.
