MgF2

MgF2 is positive uni-axial crystal with a very high optical transmittance from the vacuum UV to IR.  It also has a large resistance to mechanical and thermal shock, to optical radiation, and is chemically stable, making it a very useful materials for UV and IR optics.

 
 

Property:

>50% Transmission at 120 nm
Transmission ≥94% for λ = 200 nm - 6 µm
Suitable for Excimer Lasers and Other Deep UV Applications

Advantages:

l  High optical transmittance from the vacuum ultraviolet to the infrared spectrum region(0.128.5μm).
l  Resistant to mechanical and thermal shock, to radiation
l  Chemically stable
l  A positive birefringent crystal, used for optical fiber communication
l  Used for Optical prisms, lenses, wedges, windows, other optical components and etc
