  • Excellent Vacuum UV (VUV) Transmission
  • High Transmission from 150nm - 6μm
  • Low Index of Refraction

ISP Optics Lithium Fluoride (LiF) Windows provide excellent transmission in the vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) wavelength range of 150 – 200nm, as well as at the hydrogen Lyman-alpha line (121nm). In addition to high transmission into the UV, these windows also feature superior transmission in the Visible and Infrared up to 6µm. Lithium fluoride has a low index of refraction, allowing these windows to be used without an anti-reflection (AR) coating. ISP Optics Lithium Fluoride (LiF) Windows are ideal for use as UV transmission windows in spectroscopy applications, as a diffracting element in X-ray spectrometry, or as infrared windows for thermal imaging applications.  

Note: Lithium fluoride is sensitive to thermal shock and is attacked by atmospheric moisture at temperatures above 400°C.
