Calcium Fluoride (CaF2) Lenses: The Ultimate Solution for High-Performance Optical Systems

In the fast-evolving world of optics, precision and material quality are non-negotiable. For industries ranging from semiconductor manufacturing to aerospace, calcium fluoride (CaF2) lenses have emerged as a game-changer. At Changchun Positive Optics, we specialize in crafting premium-grade CaF2 lenses designed to meet the most demanding optical challenges. Here’s why these lenses are a must-have for your next project—and how they can elevate your applications to new heights.

Why Calcium Fluoride Lenses?

Calcium fluoride is a synthetic crystalline material renowned for its exceptional optical properties. Unlike conventional glass or fused silica, CaF2 lenses offer:

1. Ultra-Wide Transmission Range: From ultraviolet (UV) to infrared (IR) wavelengths (0.15 µm to 8 µm), CaF2 lenses outperform competitors, making them ideal for spectroscopy, laser systems, and thermal imaging.

2. Low Dispersion & High Laser Damage Threshold: Minimize chromatic aberration and withstand high-power laser applications without degradation.

3. Chemical & Thermal Stability: Resistant to moisture, acids, and extreme temperatures, ensuring longevity in harsh environments.

Key Applications of CaF2 Lenses

1. Deep UV Lithography: Critical for semiconductor manufacturing, CaF2 lenses enable precise patterning of microchips at nanometer scales.

2. High-Power Laser Systems: Used in medical lasers, cutting-edge research, and defense technologies, where clarity and durability are paramount.

3. Infrared Imaging & Spectroscopy: Enhance accuracy in environmental monitoring, gas analysis, and aerospace navigation systems.

4. Microscopy & Biomedical Imaging: Achieve unmatched resolution in UV microscopy for life sciences and diagnostics.
