29 Sep 2025 Calcium Fluoride has good performance at optical and thermo-mechanical properties, it can be used for optical windows, spherical lens, prisms and cylinders within a wide range from 130nm to 9μm. It has optical properties of isotropy, low absorption and low refractive index, which made CaF2 gain the unique advantages in the application.
Is CaF2 transparent?
Calcium Fluoride (Caf2) is a highly transparent optical material that is commonly used in applications such as spectroscopy, thermal imaging, and excimer laser optics. It has a broad transmission range from the ultraviolet to the mid-infrared region and is highly resistant to thermal and mechanical shock.
What is the difference between single crystal and polycrystalline thermal conductivity?
In general, polycrystals with randomly oriented crystals contain many interfaces. Hence polycrystals exhibit lower thermal conductivity than single crystals
