    In optical ceramics: Optical and infrared windows

    … (KCl), calcium fluoride (CaF), and strontium fluoride (SrF2) have been used for erosion-resistant infrared radomes, windows for infrared detectors, and infrared laser windows. These polycrystalline halide materials tend to transmit lower wavelengths than oxides, extending down to the infrared region; however, their grain boundaries and porosity scatter radiation. Therefore, they…
