Calcium Fluoride shows good optical and thermo-mechanical properties. It is widely used as optical windows, lenses, and prisms in 0.13μm-9.0μm. For its optical isotropy low absorption and low refractive index CaF2 has found unique advantages in high power laser and UV laser optics.
BGRI supply CaF2 growth rod, polishing dics, coating service and assembly IR windows.
CaF2 optics: plano-convex/concave lens, bi-convex/concave lens; windows.
material can be of monocrystalline (single crystal) or polycrystaline (multi-crystal), the largest monocrystaline CaF2 is Diameter 170.00mm at present. BGRI divide the CaF2 optics into two polishing level, precision polishing and commerical polishing.
precision best polishing level:
S-D: 10-5; Fringes: 1/10 lambda: parallelism: 30 arc sec
commerical polishing level:
S-D: 80-50: Fringes: 3(1): parallelism: 3 arc min
Here are some mass level polishing price refer from BGRI of IR grade.
