CaGe is a ceramic compound in the calcium-germanium oxide family, likely a calcium germanate or related phase used primarily in research and specialized optical applications. This material is valued in photonics and materials science for its optical transparency and thermal stability in mid-infrared regions, making it a candidate for infrared optics, scintillator applications, and high-temperature ceramic matrices. Compared to conventional optical ceramics like sapphire or yttria, CaGe offers distinct refractive index properties in the IR spectrum, though production and property optimization remain primarily in the research domain.
