Frequently Asked Questions

How does MgF₂ compare to K9/BK7 glass in UV applications?

MgF₂ offers far superior UV resistance and transmission (transparent down to 150nm) compared to K9/BK7 (opaque below 350nm), making it the ideal choice for UV laser and deep UV systems.

Can the lens be used for high-power UV laser systems?

Yes, its high laser-induced damage threshold (LIDT) and UV resistance make it suitable for moderate to high-power UV lasers, especially when paired with optimized AR coatings.

What is the difference between single-crystal and polycrystalline MgF₂ lenses?

Single-crystal MgF₂ has higher optical uniformity, lower scatter, and full 150nm–7μm transmission, suited for high-precision applications. Polycrystalline MgF₂ is more cost-effective, durable, and suitable for mid-range UV-VIS-NIR systems.

Is the MgF₂ biconvex lens safe for use in high-temperature environments?

Yes, it operates stably from -50°C to 200°C, with low thermal expansion ensuring consistent performance across temperature fluctuations.

Can non-standard focal lengths or diameters be customized?

Yes, we support full customization of non-standard diameters, focal lengths, thicknesses, chamfers, and coatings to meet specific application and system design needs.
