Abstract :
Properties of low-refractive-index materials based on fluorides of metals, presumably, complex ones, and coatings produced from them, are regarded. Problems of optimization of composition of film-forming materials, based on fluorides, by their alloying are discussed. An alloying mechanism of admixtures to the most widespread material-magnesium fluoride-is established. Another way of enhancing optical properties, particularly, broadening of a transparency domain due to use of complex fluorides is shown. High beam durability and transparency of BaY2F8 allow regarding it as much promising material for interference optics of IR technological lasers.
