CaF2 (Calcium fluoride) Crystal

CaF2 (Calcium Fluoride) crystal is not only a conventional but also an excellent material for the applications of laser optics. The crystal covers a very wide transmission range from 130nm to 9500 nm (UV, VIS and IR), especially, features a high transmittivity in IR range. Those advantages make CaF2 an ideal material widely used in Laser, IR and UV optics for making optical windows and lenses, etc.
