Calcium fluoride (CaF2) and magnesium fluoride (MgF2) crystals have high hardness, strong resistance to mechanical impact and thermal impact, good transmittance in ultraviolet, light and infrared bands, widely used in laser, infrared optics, ultraviolet light and high-energy detectors and other fields, especially their optical properties in the ultraviolet band are very good. It is an optical crystal of ultraviolet cutoff band known at present, with high transmittance and small fluorescence radiation. It is an ideal material for UV photoelectric detectors, UV lasers and UV photochemical systems. Unlike calcium fluoride (GaF2), magnesium fluoride (MgF2) is a birefringent crystal.
