Calcium Fluoride Lens

Calcium Fluoride Properties

Calcium fluoride is an excellent optical material in the spectrum range of 180nm-8um. Compared with many other infrared materials, calcium fluoride has higher light transmittance and lower chromatic aberration.

Calcium fluoride is in the range of 0.25um-7um The light transmittance between them exceeds 90%. Under normal conditions, the polished surface of calcium fluoride can work for several years. Calcium fluoride is twice as hard as barium fluoride and is more resistant to thermal shock.

Customizability

According to different usage requirements, CaF2 lenses can be designed into various shapes such as plano-convex, biconvex, meniscus, plano-concave and bi-concave.

The focal length, diameter and other parameters of the lens can also be customized according to customer needs.
