Dihedral Technology(DHD) Co., Ltd. manufacture and processing/provide multiple specifications and high quality BaF2 crystal,targets,materials.

Applications

BaF2 crystal is widely used in infrared and ultraviolet windows as well as prism substrates.
It has broad application prospects in particle physics, nuclear physics, nuclear medicine and other fields.

Features

BaF2 crystal has good optical and mechanical properties. The refractive index does not change much in a wide wavelength range and a wide transmittance range. It ranges from 0.2 to 10 μ Within the wavelength range of m, the highest transmittance can reach over 90%.
BaF2 crystal also exhibits excellent scintillation performance (due to its fast and slow emission components, it can simultaneously measure energy and time spectra, and has relatively high energy and time resolution). “
