An ar coating maximizes the transmission over 3 to 5 µm ravg 2.
Barium fluoride windows have a transmission range of 0 265 10 µm.
Barium fluoride is often suitable for applications in the passive ir band 8 to 14 μm and is often used as a viewport window for thermal imaging inspection application in electric power facilities and petroleum indutries.
Baf2 has excellent transmission from 200nm 12μm and resistance to high energy radiation.
Barium fluoride is used for optical windows prisms and lenses transmitting from ultraviolet into infrared it can be used as an infrared laser window or lens.

Baf2 is a fairly hard material but is very sensitive to thermal shock.
It also presents excellent scintillation properties which is widely used in high energy physics nuclear physics and nuclear medical instruments.
The material can be used up to 800 c but can be subject to reduced.

For an equivalent thickness the transmission extends approximately 1 micron further into the ir than calcium fluoride.
Barium fluoride baf2 is the fastest known scintillator material and barium fluoride windows and plates are used in vuv and infrared spectroscopy.
Barium fluoride baf is a crystalline compound of barium and fluoride used in optical applications in the nir vis and mwir spectrums.
Barium fluoride windows can be used up to 800 c in a dry environment but prolonged exposure to moisture can degrade transmission in the vacuum ultraviolet range.
Ir windows barium fluoride baf2 windows.
Baf 2 is recommended for use as a vacuum ultraviolet window where high radiation resistance is required.
