    AI Overview
    MgF₂ (Magnesium Fluoride) waveplates are essential for laboratory polarization control, offering high transparency from the deep UV (120 nm) to mid-IR (7 µm) ranges. These durable, birefringent, and chemically resistant crystals are ideal for high-damage threshold laser applications, including excimer lasers and broad-spectrum spectroscopy. 
    Key Types & Features for Labs 
    • Achromatic Waveplates: Utilize a mix of MgF₂ and crystalline quartz to provide constant phase shift over a broad wavelength range.
    • Zero-Order/Low-Order MgF₂: Offer superior stability against temperature and wavelength variations compared to multi-order types.
    • High Damage Threshold: Achromatic air-spaced designs often survive up to 5 J/cm² at 1064 nm.
    • Mounting: Commonly available in 1/2" or 1" anodized aluminum housings with fast-axis markings. 
    Applications 
    • UV Spectroscopy: Excellent performance below 200 nm, including Hydrogen Lyman-α (121 nm).
    • Laser Systems: Used with excimer lasers and tunable laser systems.
    • Broadband Polarization Control: Ideal for applications requiring consistent retardance, such as imaging and ellipsometry. 
    MgF₂ waveplates are known for being chemically stable, scratch-resistant, and having high thermal shock resistance, making them durable for harsh laboratory environments.

    What is MgF2 used for?
    Fluorides such as MgF2 are typical materials to make optical coatings for laser applications in the ultraviolet UV spectral region [10], [11]. Magnesium fluoride has been used in MgF2-doped chromium or aluminium fluoride catalysts for exchange on hydrochlorocarbons [12].

    What does MgF2 dissociate into?
    Although it is an ionic compound, it does not dissociate much into its ions in water, however a small amount does dissolve. When the small amount of MgF2 is dissolved in H2O (water) it will dissociate (dissolve) into Mg 2+ and F- ions.Feb 16, 2021
