Product IntroductionOptical Crystals CaF2
Features of CaF2 (Calcium Fluoride)
- High Optical Transmittance And Chromatic Aberration Compensation Capability -
Calcium fluoride (CaF2) is a material with high optical transmittance ranging from the vacuum ultraviolet region to the near-infrared region. It is chemically stable and has excellent resistance to the ultraviolet laser. It has excellent chromatic aberration compensation capability, with both low dispersivity and extraordinary low dispersivity.
Our CaF2 product
We provide an excimer laser grade CaF2 product with high optical transmittance and laser durability in the vacuum-ultraviolet region as lens materials for semiconductor lithography equipment and window materials for the ultraviolet lasers. Our visible/infrared grade material is also available for TV cameras, digital cameras, and astronomical telescopes as lens material with high chromatic aberration compensation capability in the visual light range, and for infrared analyzers as window material with high transmittance in the near-infrared region.
