PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Introduction
MgF2 windows are valued primarily for their excellent ultraviolet transmission and naturally low refractive index. Magnesium fluoride can transmit deeper into the UV region than many common optical materials, while its low index helps reduce Fresnel reflection at uncoated surfaces.
As a crystalline optical material, MgF2 also offers good resistance to environmental exposure and can maintain stable optical behavior across a broad spectral range. These characteristics make it especially useful where ultraviolet performance and low surface reflection are more important than maximum infrared transmission.
Applications
- Excimer laser systems
- Vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) instruments
- UV spectroscopy systems
Features & advantages
