Magnesium fluoride(MgF2) is Tetragonal crystal system with  high hardness, good mechanical properties, stable chemical properties, not easy to deliquesce and corrosion, and its main characteristics in optical properties are its high transmittance in the vacuum Ultraviolet band (transmittance is still >50% in 120nm ), Magnesium fluoride(MgF2) suitable for windows and focusing mirrors of deep ultraviolet and excimer lasers. In addition, because of it is a Tetragonal birefringent crystal, it is widely used in optical components such as fiber optic communications and wave plates.
 
The refractive index of Magnesium fluoride(MgF2) window is about 1.38, which can be used as Laser window, Ultraviolet window, Infrared window / substrate material, etc. Magnesium fluoride(MgF2) window is excellent in the ultraviolet band, it is the most important low refractive index window material,

We can customize different size and thickness of Magnesium fluoride(MgF2) optical window upon requirements, such as Magnesium fluoride(MgF2) round wafer, Square substrate and Cylinder, or Punch holes and other shapes.
