Applications
Laser technology:Used for optical path construction in excimer lasers and mid-infrared quantum cascade lasers (QCLs). Spectroscopic analysis:Covers a wide wavelength range, suitable for ultraviolet, visible, and infrared spectrometers. Imaging systems:Used in apochromatic lenses, high-resolution microscopes, ultraviolet lithography machines, and astronomical observations. Infrared thermal imaging:Applied to mid-wave infrared (MWIR) thermal imaging systems.
Key Features
Ultra-wide transmission range:Its transmission band covers ultraviolet, visible, and mid-infrared (approximately 0.13-10 μm). It is almost a standard choice, especially in the deep ultraviolet below 180 nm and the mid-infrared band of 3-5 μm. Low refractive index and low dispersion:With a refractive index of approximately 1.35-1.51 and an Abbe number as high as 95, it effectively reduces surface reflection loss and significantly reduces chromatic aberration, making it an ideal material for high-quality imaging systems. High laser damage threshold:It can withstand extremely high laser energies, making it ideal for use with high-power laser sources such as excimer lasers. Physical and chemical properties:It exhibits superior moisture resistance compared to other fluorides, is twice as hard as barium fluoride, and possesses excellent optical homogeneity and no birefringence.
