Product Description

High quality optical IR Calcium Fluoride CaF2 windows for Infrared application

CaF2 is commonly used for applications requiring high transmission in the infrared and ultraviolet spectral ranges. Its extremely
high laser damage threshold allows it to be used with excimer lasers. The material exhibits a low refractive index, varying from
1.35 to 1.51 within its usage range of 180 nm to 8.0 μm. Calcium fluoride is also fairly chemically inert and offers superior
hardness compared to its barium fluoride, magnesium fluoride, and lithium fluoride cousins. Calcium Fluoride has widespread IR application as windows, prisms and other lenses.
