MgF2 (Magnesium Fluoride)

MgF2MgF2 (Magnesium Fluoride) is used for optical elements in both the infrared and ultraviolet. Its useful transmission range is from 0.11um to 7.5um. It is the only one optical material combining wide spectral transmittance band with birefringence phenomenon. MgF2 is one of the lowest index infrared materials, second only to Lithium Fluoride. It is resistant to thermal and mechanical shock. The material is twice as hard as Calcium Fluoride but only half as hard as Germanium.
