Study of possible solarization - related impurities in CaF2 and other fluorides
Abstract
CaF2, MgF2 and SrF2 representative samples are obtained from three commercial single crystal sources. After repolishing their surfaces, all samples are subjected to spectographic quantitative spectrophotometry. A correlation of optical properties observed and trace impurities or dopants found by chemical analysis are observed, and details presented.
