Impurities in synthetic fluorite for deep ultraviolet optical applications

Abstract: The impurity content of synthetic calciumdifluoride (fluorite, CaF2) single crystals produced for optical applications in the deep ultraviolet (DUV) and infrared (IR) spectral regions are investigated by luminescence and absorption spectroscopy. Lead, oxygen, and rare earth (RE) ions, namely, trivalent (Ce3+, Pr3+, Sm3+, Eu3+, Gd3+, Tb3+, Dy3+, Ho3+, Er3+, and Yb3+) and divalent (Eu2+) are identified as common impurities. RE ions are dominating impurities in the IR grade sample and the impurity concentration f… Show more

“…The emission peak at 420 nm in the irradiated samples is attributed to 4f 7 → 4f 6 5d 1 transitions of Eu 2+ ions [16]. The 552 nm emission observed in the pristine sample is attributed to the well studied 5D 0 → 7F 0 transition of Eu 3+ ions [17]. The PL intensity is found to be enhanced in the Eu doped nanocrystals when compared with the undoped CaF 2 nanocrystals studied by the present authors.…”
