FLUORIDE-BASED NANOCOMPOSITE MATERIALS FOR INFRARED WINDOW APPLICATIONS

摘要

Fluoride-based nanocomposite materials, optical articles made therefrom, and methods of making the fluoride-nanocomposite materials and optical articles. In certain examples, a fluoride- based nanocomposite material includes two or more interspersed fluoride-based nanograin materials with grains having one, two, or three dimensions that are less than 1 micrometer.
