Opt⚙City ®-Quality Crystal & Optical Components
MgF2 window - Magnesium Fluoride crystal is used for optical elements where extreme ruggedness and durability is required. MgF2 crystal transmission range is 0.11 µm - 8.5 µm. Irradiation does not lead to color centers. MgF2 crystal is a rugged, hard material which is resistant to thermal and mechanical shock and can be worked to the highest standards. Considerable mechanical shock is needed to cause cleavage which is near perfect when it occurs. MgF2 single crystals is a positive crystal and slightly birefringent and usually supplied with the optic axis cut perpendicular to the window faces.
- High optical transmittance from the vacuum ultraviolet to the infrared
spectrum region(0.11~8.5µm)
- Resistant to mechanical and thermal shock, to radiation
- Chemically stable
- Used for Optical prisms, lenses, wedges, windows and other optical components
- A positive birefringent crystal used for polarization optics
