LiF Infrared Optics Used For Windows, Prisms And Lenses In Visible and Infrared Range

LiF crystal has excellent VUV region transmittance. It is used for windows, prisms, and lenses in the visible and infrared in 0.104 um - 7 um. LiF crystal is sensitive to thermal shock and would be attacked by atmospheric moisture at 400°C. In addition irradiation produces color centers. Modest precautions should be taken against moisture and high energy radiation damage. Besides LiF softens at 600°C and is slightly plastic that can be bent into radius plates. The material can be cleaved along (100) plane and less commonly (110) plane. The optical characteristics are good and yet the structure is not perfect and cleavage is difficult. For good structure LiF is less commonly grown by the Kyropoulos method (air-grown) specifically for monochromator plates. High quality LiF is usually grown by modified Bridgman method.

Founded in 1999, Hangzhou Freqcontrol Electronic Technology Ltd. is a China leading manufacturer of piezoelectric crystal wafers, substrates, components and single crystal growth. We, known as the "CQT Group" in global market, headquartered in Hangzhou, China, empowered by its manufacturing sites in Shanghai, Jiaxing and Deqin etc.

Our products are mainly used in RF Telecom, Semiconductor, Biotech, Optical engineering and frequency control industries. The monthly production capacity: 500K single quartz blanks (SC, AT, IT, FC, etc.), 20K quartz wafers (AT, ST, X, Z, etc.), 10K LiNbO3 wafers (3~8 inch), 10K glass wafers (Fused silica, Borofloat33, Corning, etc.), 8K LiTaO3 wafers (3~6 inch), and 100K filters/oscillators (VCXO, TCXO).

Our company vision is to be a reliable primary Microelectronic substrates supplier in today's world.

The CQT Group consists of five major plants with total floor area over 10,000 m². Our production machines include crystal growth furnace, wire saw, X-ray orientation, grinding machine, polishing machine, chamfering machine, CNC, REDOX chambers etc. Inspection equipment include Flatmaster 200, AOI, profilometer, optical imager, X-ray inspector etc. We are also equipped with Class 100 and 1000 clean rooms.

The CQT group is primarily known as the expert of hexagonal crystals, We master the manufacturing process of single & doubly rotated quartz blanks, and we can provide quartz of any orientation cut whether given by IRE , Miller index, Euler angle or conventional sign.

In addition to our leading quartz blank manufacturing capabilities, the last decade sees our major technological breakthroughs. We overcome the 3~6 inch ultra-thin wafer mass production barrier, obtained the reduction technology of black LiNbO3 & LiTaO3 wafers, and achieved 8 inch LiNbO3 wafer mass production successfully.
