· JVASP-115578· BaYF2

BaYF₂ is a barium-yttrium fluoride ceramic compound that belongs to the fluoride ceramics family. It is primarily investigated as an optical and photonic material, particularly for applications requiring high transparency in the infrared spectrum and as a host matrix for rare-earth dopants in laser systems. The material is notable for its low phonon energy compared to oxide ceramics, making it valuable for mid-infrared optics and upconversion fluorescence applications where researchers seek alternatives to traditional glasses and oxides with better thermal stability and optical transmission in specific wavelength ranges.

Regulatory Screening

Environmental

RoHS, REACH, and Prop 65 statuses are validated against official substance lists (ECHA SVHC Candidate List, OEHHA Prop 65, RoHS Annex II). Other regulations are estimated from composition and material classification. All screening is a starting point for due diligence — always verify with your supplier before making compliance decisions.
