MgF2 Magnesium Fluoride Crystal Substrate Window for Optical Applications

MgF2 crystal substrate / window

An optical window is a fundamental optical component utilized primarily as a protective shield for electronic sensors or detectors against external environmental factors. Its purpose is to establish a barrier between the internal and external surroundings, effectively segregating the instrument's interior from the outside environment. This isolation safeguards the internal devices and ensures their protection.

Magnesium Fluoride (MgF2) is a colorless, robust, and highly durable material that exhibits birefringence. Its exceptional mechanical and thermal shock resistance allows it to be employed in demanding conditions, commonly in the form of windows. Additionally, its birefringent properties make it valuable for UV waveband polarizers. The material boasts high transmittance within a wavelength range of 0.1µm to 7µm, with over 90% transmission between 0.4µm and 5.0µm. With a hardness rating of approximately HK576, Magnesium Fluoride stands as the hardest among optical fluorides.
