Abstract
A method of making a fracture-resistant large-size calcium fluoride single crystal is described, which is suitable for an optical component for radiation in the far UV range. The calcium fluoride raw material for the single crystal is first melted and subsequently solidified by cooling the melt to form a single crystal. However the calcium fluoride raw material is doped with from 1 to 250, preferably 1 to 100, ppm of strontium, preferably added as strontium fluoride, and contains from 1 to 10 ppm of sodium as well as up to 100 ppm of other impurities.
