〈参考例1〉
フッ化カルシウム(CaF2)水溶液とフッ化イッテルビウム水溶液をモル比が0.4対0.6、0.5対0.5、0.4対0.6、0.2対0.8、0.0対1.0となるように混合すると共に、酢酸を滴下して沈殿させ、この沈殿物を乾燥することで前記比率の粉末のフッ化物を得た。次いで、この粉末を金型プレスで成形し、700℃以上1300℃以下に加熱することにより、相対密度を95%以上とする焼成体を製造した。
また、Ca0.5Yb0.5F2.5については、透過スペクトルの測定を行ったところ、その結果は、図1に示すとおりである。
Yb2O3:Y2O3がモル比で50:50、60:40の酸化物単結晶をFZ法で作成し、参考例1の場合と同様な形状に加工し、光の波長が325nm及び194nmの透過率の測定を行うと共に、325nmの場合では、ベルデー定数の測定をも行った。表2にその結果を示す。また、50:50の試料については、その透過スペクトルの測定も行ったところ、その結果を図1に示す。
参考例1と同様の手法で、フッ化カルシウム(CaF2)とフッ化イッテルビウム、フッ化希土類混合物の粉末を得た。次いで、この粉末を金型プレスで成形し、700℃以上1300℃以下に加熱することにより、相対密度を95%以上とする焼成体を製造した。
