4 FAQs about Solar glass calcium fluoride

How is calcium fluoride deposited on borosilicate glass?

Calcium fluoride (CaF2) is deposited via vacuum thermal evaporation on borosilicate glass to produce an anti-reflection coating for use in solar modules. Macleod’s essential simulation is used to optimize the thickness of the CaF2 coating on the glass.

What is calcium fluoride used for?

Calcium Fluoride has widespread IR applications as spectroscopic CaF2 windows, CaF2 prisms and CaF2 lenses. Especially pure grades of Calcium Fluoride (CaF2) find useful applications in the UV and as UV Excimer laser windows. Calcium Fluoride (CaF2) is available doped with Europium as a gamma-ray scintillator. Cubic Fm3m (#225) Fluorite Structure.

What is calcium fluoride (CaF2)?

The choice of glass is a fundamental part in the optical design process. This is especially true for IR and thermal optics materials. In this article, we will review Calcium Fluoride (CaF2), an interesting glass that has a wide range of applications. Before we start, let’s look at the transmission window for CaF2 (Figure 1).

Why is calcium fluoride a good optical material?

Besides that, calcium fluoride is an important optical material with high solubility of both sensitizer and activator RE ions [ 17 ]. The reduction of non-radiative losses in dopped glasses can be achieved by adding fluorides into the glass host matrices, thereby enhancing the effective luminescence [ 18 ].
