Barium fluoride (BaF₃) is an inorganic ionic ceramic compound combining barium metal with fluorine, belonging to the halide ceramic family. It is primarily used in optical and optoelectronic applications where transparency to infrared and ultraviolet radiation is required, and also serves as a raw material in fluorine chemistry and specialized coatings. BaF₃ is valued for its wide optical transmission window and thermal stability, making it preferable to alternative fluoride ceramics in applications demanding broad spectral range performance.
