Features: This book is a comprehensive and systematic monograph on the structure, properties, growth, and applications of CaF2 crystal materials. The book is divided into 8 chapters, starting with an introduction to the structural characteristics of CaF2 crystals and their physicochemical and optical properties, it covers the growth of CaF2 and doped CaF2 crystals, lattice defects, optical properties, spectral characteristics, and laser performance. It emphasizes the growth techniques of CaF2 crystals, the optical properties of CaF2 crystals in the vacuum ultraviolet region, the microscopic lattice structure of doped CaF2 crystals, as well as the spectral and laser performance of important activator ions such as U, Yb, and Er doped into CaF2 crystals. The book provides detailed references on related domestic and international research and specifically cites original data from some of the referenced literature. This book is suitable for researchers and developers in the fields of optical and optoelectronic materials, solid-state physics, crystal growth, and laser technology.
