Magnesium Fluoride (MgF2) is grown by vacuum Stockbarger technique in various diameters. Magnesium Fluoride is a strong material and polishes very well. Magnesium Fluoride is slightly birefringent and is normally supplied with the optical axis cut perpendicular to the window face. Magnesium Fluoride is a water soluble material. Magnesium Fluoride transmits well into the VUV region and is an excellent choice for Excimer laser applications. Magnesium Fluoride is one of two materials that will transmit in the VUV 121nm (Lyman Alpha) range.
