KCl
Potassium Chloride (KCl) is hygrosopic. The crystal often applied for infared transmission windows and FTIR spectrophotometers. The KCl windows have low refractive index and high threshold damage. So it’s very useful for sputter barrier windows in CO2 lasers. KCl 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.
