Calcium fluoride (CaF2) crystal has the advantages of wide transmittance range (good transmittance in the wavelength range of 0.13μm~10μm), low stress birefringence (no obvious intrinsic birefringence above 200nm), high refractive index uniformity, stable mechanical properties, no deliquency, strong resistance to radiation damage, etc. It is an ideal material for making various optical components such as optical Windows, prisms and lenses.
