The invention relates to the field of optical filming materials, particularly to a disc-shaped MgF2
crystal filming material and a production method thereof. The disc-shaped MgF2
crystal filming material is characterized in that the material is a colorless and transparent polycrystal optical
crystal; at the position that the wave length is 500 mm, the
refractive index Ne is equal to 1.38, and the
material density is about 3.17 g / cm<3>, the material is designed and processed to be disc-shaped, conical or cylindrical, and the
diameter and depth of the material are applicable to crucibles or
crucible linings of electronic guns with various specifications, wherein the
diameter ranges 20mm to 56 mm, and the thickness ranges between 5mm to 30 mm. Compared with the prior art, the disc-shaped MgF2 crystal filming material has the following benefits: the size requirement for MgF2-plated
crucible of the electronic gun is fully met; material feeding and taking are very convenient; excellent
evaporation characteristics of no splashing, no point collapsing, no gas discharging, and a flat
evaporation surface are provided; the
surface smoothness of a to-be-plated optical element is effectively improved; the disc-shaped MgF2 crystal filming material is particularly suitable for
surface coating of super-smooth optical elements needing higher filming requirements.
