KBr
Potassium Bromide (KBr) crystal is water-souble, and it is easily deliquescent. That cannot be chemically polished. It has a high transmittance and a wide pass band, so it’s commonly used for transmission windows, FTIR spectrophotometers and beam splitters for spectrophotometers. The KBr substarte and windows are soft and Hygroscopic. KBr single crystal uniform texture and transparent, has a high infrared transmittance, the transmittance greater than 90% when thickness less 10mm and in the range of 4000-500cm-1, no impurity absorption. KCI single crystal as a laser window material, the optical performance is excellent.
