10. Crystalline Materials
for UV Applications
Christian Mühlig and Wolfgang Triebel
10.1 Introduction
is chapter is dedicated to crystalline optical materials for applications in the UV
(ultraviolet), DUV (deep ultraviolet), and VUV (vacuum ultraviolet) wavelength range.
Furthermore, only bulk eects are considered and the authors refer to other chapters
regarding surface, coating, and contamination eects.
In contrast to the previous chapters, the intention of the authors is lying on the mate-
rial’s absorption and absorption changes upon UV/DUV/VUV laser irradiation as part of
the funct
