Ytterbium Fluoride (YbF3) Sputtering Targets

Ytterbium fluoride is a wide-bandgap, optically transparent material that has found application in the fabrication of optical devices and components. YbF3 thin films can be deposited using techniques like physical vapor deposition or chemical vapor deposition, allowing for their integration into integrated optics, laser systems, and other photonic applications. The materials high refractive index, low optical absorption, and good thermal and chemical stability make it a suitable choice for use as optical waveguides, lenses, and coatings. Additionally, the ability to dope YbF3 with other rare-earth elements can further enhance its optical functionality, enabling the development of advanced photonic devices and energy-efficient lighting technologies.
