LiF Optical Crystals

DescriptionLiF (Lithium Flouride) crystals shows excellent transmittance in the VUV region. It is used for windows,Website:http://www.meta-laser.com, prisms, and lenses in the visible and infrared in 0.104 µm - 7 µm. LiF crystalis sensitive to thermal shock and would be attacked by atmospheric moisture at 400°C. In addition irradiation produces color centers. Modest precautions should be taken against moisture and high energy radiation damage. Besides LiF is softens at 600°C and is slightly plastic that can be bent into radius plates. The material can be cleaved along (100) and less commonly (
