Fiber Optic Material Doping: As a core raw material for rare-earth doped optical fibers, it significantly improves the gain performance and bandwidth characteristics of fiber amplifiers.
Optical Crystal Growth: Used for fluoride crystal growth to prepare infrared lasers and nonlinear optical crystals with ultra-low optical loss.
Specialty Glass Manufacturing: Doping into specialty optical glasses allows for adjustment of refractive index and dispersion characteristics, used in high-end camera lenses and precision optical instruments.
Thin Film Deposition Precursor: High-transmittance scandium fluoride antireflective and protective films are prepared using physical vapor deposition (PVD).
Q1: Is scandium fluoride powder sensitive to moisture during application?
A1: Yes, the product has some hygroscopic properties, especially in its fine powder state. It is recommended to handle and store it in a dry environment. After opening, ensure it is sealed tightly to prevent moisture.
Q2: What is the standard for hydroxyl content in the product?
A2: For high-end optical applications, we can control the hydroxyl content of the powder to below 100 ppm, and some special specifications can reach below 50 ppm. Specific testing data will be provided.
Q3: How do different particle sizes affect the performance of the final sintered body?
A3: Particle size directly affects the sintering activity of the powder and the density of the final product. Finer powders have higher sintering activity, which helps to obtain higher density ceramics or crystals. We can recommend a suitable particle size based on your process objectives.
Q4: Can you provide specific data for laser particle size analysis?
A4: Yes. We use a laser particle size analyzer for testing and provide detailed particle size distribution curves and characteristic value reports such as D10, D50, and D90 for each batch of products.
Each batch is supplied with:
Certificate of Analysis (COA)
Technical Data Sheet (TDS)
Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS)
Third-party testing reports available upon request
