Optical glass additives: Ytterbium fluoride granules are used as additives for optical glass to increase the refractive index and dispersion properties of the glass and improve the optical properties of the glass.
Coating of optical components: Ytterbium fluoride granules are used as coating materials for optical components due to their high refractive index and low dispersion properties, enhancing the performance of optical components to meet the needs of high-precision optical systems.
Preparation of high refractive index optical fibres: Ytterbium fluoride granules are used to prepare high refractive index optical fibres, which have a wide range of applications in optical fibre communications and other fields.
Each batch of products strictly guards the quality, from the selection of raw material suppliers, to the use of advanced testing equipment to accurately monitor the entire production process, to the finished product through many rounds of harsh sampling and third-party authoritative certification, to all-round, zero-tolerance quality control system to ensure that each batch of products meets and exceeds the industry’s high standards, to provide our customers with the best quality and most stable products.
Ytterbium Fluoride granules is packed in vacuum bag or vacuum bottle in carton to ensure safe transportation.
Ytterbium Fluoride granules should be sealed and stored in a dry, cool and ventilated environment, avoiding contact with corrosive substances such as acids and alkalis as well as strong oxidizing agents, and preventing moisture, deterioration and chemical reaction.
Q1: What is ytterbium fluoride?
A: Ytterbium fluoride is an inorganic compound composed of ytterbium (Yb) and fluorine (F), with the chemical formula YbF₃. Ytterbium is a rare earth element belonging to the lanthanides family, while fluorine is the most reactive member of the halogens. When they combine, they form a white or colorless crystal with a high melting point and unique physicochemical properties. This compound is not common in nature and is usually obtained through artificial synthesis.
Q2: What is ytterbium fluoride used for?
A: Ytterbium fluoride has a wide range of applications. In the optics field, it is often used in optical coatings to effectively improve the performance of optical components, reduce reflection, and increase light transmittance. It is also an important material for fiber optic doping, optimizing the optical transmission performance of fibers and improving the stability and efficiency of signal transmission. In laser technology, it is a key raw material for preparing laser crystals, contributing to the manufacture of high-performance laser amplifiers and other devices, playing an important role in materials processing, medicine, and scientific research.
Q3: What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for ytterbium fluoride?
A: Our minimum order quantity is 100g. We support small-batch orders for experimental research and development, as well as large-batch factory orders. The unit price will decrease as the quantity increases.
Q4: Can I request a sample of ytterbium fluoride?
A: Of course, for first-time clients, we may provide a small number of free samples for testing to increase their trust in us.
VI HALBLEITERMATERIAL GmbH (VIMATERIAL) employs a stringent quality assurance system to ensure the reliability of our product quality. Strict quality control is implemented throughout the entire production chain, and for defective products, we strictly enforce the principle of rework and redo. Each batch is released only after passing detailed specification tests.
Every batch of our materials is independently tested, and, if necessary, we send samples to certified companies for testing. We provide these documents and analysis certificates with the shipment to certify that our products meet the required standards.
