MgF2 windows are used in the UV, visible and IR ranges, with approximately 94% transmission from 200 – 1000 nm, and approximately 95% transmission from 1-6µm
Features
IR Windows Magnesium Fluoride (MgF2) Windows
MgF2 has excellent transmission from deep in the ultraviolet region to the mid-infrared. MgF2 windows are extremely durable and introduce minimal aberrations. It is particularly useful for Excimer laser application.
MgF2 is one crystal with Orientation. WTS offer C-Axis and random Orientation MgF2 windows.
