Barium Yttrium Fluoride (BaY2F8) crystallizes in the monoclinic Cm space group. It has good light transmittance in the range of 250~15000 nm; low phonon energy (360-380 cm-1), lower refractive index and higher laser damage threshold, larger laser emission cross section, easy to dope with rare earth ions or transition metal ions. It is widely used as laser host when doped with rare earth ions.
