Barium Fluoride(BaF2) Dome
Barium fluoride (BaF2) crystals belong to the cubic crystal system, good moisture resistance, melting point of 1280°C, high operating temperature, refractive index in a wide range of wavelengths does not change much, wide range of light transmission, in the 0.2μm to 10μm wavelength range can reach more than 90%, but the mechanical strength is poor Mohs hardness of 87. In the aircraft guidance head or EO/IR platform, can be made into a dome The spheres can be made into spheres for aircraft guidance heads or EO/IR platforms.
Applications :
The light transmission range is wide, with a transmission rate of over 90% in the wavelength range of 0.2μm to 10μm, but the mechanical strength is poor with a Mohs hardness of 87. On aircraft guidance heads or EO/IR platforms, it can be made into a dome.
Product Advantage :
Dome: processed using the DTM process to minimise material breakage
Hemispheres: machined using PITCH supply, sizes D5-100 mm
Globes: machined on proprietary CNC machines to within 0.01 mm oval
Product Parameters :
Transmission rate of more than 90% in the wavelength range of 0.2μm to 10μm, but poor mechanical strength Mohs hardness of 87
