Application

The Calcium Fluoride Crystal Optic Disc, measuring 22mm by 4mm and polished on both sides, serves as a vital component in various optical applications due to its unique properties. This disc is crafted from high-quality calcium fluoride, a transparent material ideal for detecting a range of particles, including γ-rays up to several hundred keV and charged particles. With its relatively small photofraction and low atomic number, calcium fluoride excels particularly in the detection of β-particles, minimizing backscattering. Its exemplary resistance to thermal and mechanical shock, combined with low vapor pressure, makes it suitable for use in various environments, including those requiring vacuum conditions. Furthermore, its insolubility in water and most organic solvents allows it to interact directly with radioactive samples in solution without compromising its integrity. In industries such as steel and glass, it plays a crucial role, while its applications extend to high-precision optics, taking advantage of its ability to transmit ultraviolet rays. Overall, the calcium fluoride crystal optic disc is indispensable for tasks requiring reliable performance under demanding conditions.
