· JVASP-45381· KCdF3

KCdF3 is a fluoride-based ceramic compound belonging to the perovskite family, composed of potassium, cadmium, and fluorine elements. This material is primarily investigated in optical and photonic applications, particularly as a host matrix for rare-earth ion doping in solid-state laser systems and luminescent devices. Engineers select fluoride ceramics like KCdF3 over oxide alternatives when transparency in the infrared spectrum, low phonon energies for efficient energy transfer, and chemical stability against moisture are critical—making it valuable for mid-infrared optics and specialized laser gain media in research and development settings.

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.
