Optics
Calcium Fluoride
Calcium Fluoride has widespread IR
applications and is also useful in the
UV and as UV Excimer laser windows.
Degradation due to moisture in the
atmosphere is minimal and polished
surfaces may be expected to withstand
several years exposure to normal
atmospheric conditions. Low solubility
and wide transmission makes this
material useful for many applications.
Special AR coated optics can be
offered on request.
Zinc Selenide
Zinc Selenide optics are used widely as
IR windows. Zinc Selenide is one of the
materials of choice for CO2 laser optics
operating at 10.6μm. Optics with antireflective
coatings can also be offered
on request.
