Magnesium fluoride, MgF2, crystals have been widely used as windows, lenses, and prisms for wavelength from 110 nm to 7.5 um. MgF2 crystal is the most suitable material for ArF excimer lasers used in pulsed laser deposition techniques. For its excellent ulta-violet transmittance at 193nm, MgF2 crystal is effective as an optical polarizing element. MgF2 crystal substrates are also used for thin film growth.
MSE Supplies offers the following choices:
- Customized crystal growth and machining
- High quality MgF2 blank crystal materials in discs, plates, rods, customized for customers
- High quality MgF2 VUV windows for ArF Excimer Laser
- Customized MgF2 optics for IR and VUV applications
