LiF lens


Lithium fluoride (LiF) lenses are optical elements made from lithium fluoride, an optical crystal material, and come in various types, including plano-convex, plano-concave, and double-convex lenses. These lenses feature a wide transmission band (110–6,600 nm) and high transmittance, making them particularly suitable for manufacturing infrared lenses and windows.

The characteristics of lithium fluoride lenses make them widely applicable in optical systems, such as thermal imaging systems, aerospace optical systems, and excimer laser optical systems. When selecting lithium fluoride lenses, it is necessary to determine the type and specifications of the lens based on specific application requirements.
