LiF Optical Crystal

Description

Lithium fluoride (LiF) crystal has excellent VUV region transmittance. It is used for windows, prisms, and lenses in the visible and infrared in 0.104μm-7μm. LiF single crystal is sensitive to thermal shock and would be attacked by atmospheric moisture at 400°C. In addition irradiation produces color centers. Modest precautions should be taken against moisture and high energy radiation damage. Besides LiF softens at 600°C and is slightly plastic that can be bent into radius plates. The material can be cleaved along (100) plane and less commonly (110) plane. The optical characteristics are good and yet the structure is not perfect and cleavage is difficult. For good structure LiF is less commonly grown by the Kyropoulos method (air-grown) specifically for monochromator plates. High quality LiF is usually grown by modified Bridgman method.

——growing crystals, linking values

We are seller of crystals. At same time, we are producer of crystals.

It is a long and arduous process from seed crystal to the desired single crystal, the composition of the crystal changes through three states and eventually grows into beautiful crystals. We witness the growth process of each crystal and clearly know technologies of each step in the crystal growth process, which means that we can directly provide customers with crystals that satisfied customer requirements.

We create value. At same time, we link value.

From company to individual, we all pursue the word "value". Individual is valuable in society, enterprise is valuable in the industry. We cherish the existence of value. We hope to set the enterprise’ value as start pointing, expand to the surrounding, extend the value from the customer to the supplier. Linking enterprise and the industry more closer, to create more value.
