Calcium fluoride

Calcium Fluoride (CaF2) is a highly versatile optical material, spanning from deep UV to long-wavelength infrared (130nm-10µm). It boasts a low absorption coefficient and high damage threshold, making it popular in laser, cryogenic, spectroscopy, and fluorescence imaging applications across UV, VIS, and IR wavelengths. The low index of refraction allows for use without AR coating, ensuring cost-effectiveness and versatility.

FAQ

What is CaF2 used for?

Calcium Fluoride is used as a flux in the aluminium industry and a source of fluorine for hydrofluoric acid production. It also finds use in cryogenically cooled thermal imaging stages. It can also be used as a gemstone, but its value is not high as it lacks hardness.

Is CaF2 soluble in water?

Calcium fluoride is the inorganic compound of the elements calcium and fluorine with the formula CaF2. It is a white solid that is practically insoluble in water.

What dissolves calcium fluoride?

Calcium fluoride is inert to organic chemicals and many acids, including HF. It will slowly dissolve in nitric acid.

What is optical glass used for?

Due to its exceptional level of clarity and durability, optical glass is the most commonly used material for a wide variety of optical applications, including: Lenses for analytical and medical equipment. Photographic lenses. Windows for optical systems and instruments.

What is the composition of optical glass?

About 95% of all glasses are of the "soda-lime" type, containing silicon dioxide (silica), Na2O (soda), and CaO (lime). Crown glass is a soda-lime-silica composite.

What are the most common optical glasses?

The most common optical glasses for the IR spectrum are calcium fluoride, fused silica, germanium, magnesium fluoride, potassium bromide, sapphire, silicon, sodium chloride, zinc selenide, and zinc sulfide.
