Description
Barium fluoride (BaF2) has an optical transmittance of nearly 90% in the 200-9500nm.Moreover, barium fluoride can resist stronger high-energy radiation. However, the disadvantage of barium fluoride is its poor resistance to water.
When exposed to water, significant degradation of performance occurs at 500°C, but it can be used in dry environments for applications up to 800°C.
