Transmittance of Optical Materials from 017 μ to 30 μ

Abstract

The transmittance of thirty-one optical materials is given from 0.17 μ to 3.0 μ. Included are NaCl, KBr, CsBr, CsI, CaF₂, BaF₂, NaF, TlBr, TlCl, KRS–5, KRS–6, T–12, KC, CuC, T O₂, ADP, KDP, SrTiO₃, GaP, CaCO₃, CdSe, As₂S₃, ruby, Al₂O₃, Irtran 1–6, and quartz. All are synthetic with the exception of CaCO₃. In many cases, the short wavelength cutoff of the synthetic materials is less than that which has been reported for naturally occurring materials.
