Calcium fluoride IR windows are a crucial component of mid-infrared fiber lasers, directly affecting the efficiency of laser energy output. In lasers such as Ho:YAG, Tm:YAG, and Er:YAG, calcium fluoride IR windows are used to ensure high transmission efficiency of the laser, reduce optical loss, and improve system stability. Many laser devices require long-term operation, and the stable optical performance of calcium fluoride IR windows ensures that the laser output power remains unaffected.
The resonant cavity of mid-infrared fiber lasers requires a reliable sealing structure to prevent dust and moisture from entering and affecting laser operation. Due to its adaptability to various environmental conditions, calcium fluoride IR windows are widely used in laser cavity sealing, ensuring the interior of the cavity remains clean and maintaining the long-term stable operation of the laser. In medical, scientific, and industrial environments, the use of calcium fluoride IR windows can effectively extend the service life of laser equipment.
The beam of mid-infrared fiber lasers needs to pass through multiple optical components to reach the target area. Calcium fluoride IR windows are used to protect the optical channels between these components. For example, in laser scanning, mirror systems, and beam shaping components, calcium fluoride IR windows prevent dust, smoke, or other contaminants from entering the optical path, avoiding degradation of beam quality. Since laser processing is often accompanied by high temperatures and smoke, calcium fluoride IR windows have become essential components for protecting optical systems.
Calcium fluoride IR windows are widely used in the medical field, particularly in laser systems. Laser surgeries require precise energy control, and the stable transmittance of calcium fluoride IR windows helps accurately guide the laser beam, ensuring even energy distribution. Whether in skin treatments, dental surgeries, or minimally invasive procedures, calcium fluoride IR windows play a key role in medical laser systems.
In industrial production, calcium fluoride IR windows are primarily used in laser welding, glass drilling, plastic cutting, and metal surface treatment. Many high-power mid-infrared fiber lasers rely on calcium fluoride IR windows to ensure beam quality and power stability. In harsh industrial environments, calcium fluoride IR windows can withstand dust, temperature fluctuations, and other impacts, improving the precision and reliability of laser processing.
