ISP Optics Barium Fluoride (BaF2) Double-Convex (DCX) Lenses are ideal for infrared spectroscopy and infrared imaging applications requiring high transmission from 0.2 – 12µm. Barium Fluoride features a low index of refraction, enabling excellent transmission from the Vacuum-UV (VUV) to the Long-Wave Infrared (LWIR) without the need for Anti-Reflection (AR) coatings. These lenses also provide higher resistance to high-energy radiation than Calcium Fluoride, even though they have similar physical properties. ISP Optics Barium Fluoride (BaF2) Double-Convex (DCX) Lenses can be used up to 800°C in a dry environment, but prolonged exposure to moisture can degrade transmission in the ultraviolet range.
Note: These lenses are very sensitive to thermal shock.
These optics require special handling to avoid damage and ensure long-term performance. Proper handling, cleaning, and storage are essential to maintain optical quality.
