a yellowish or grayish white powder(s); hygroscopic [STR93]

The Uses of Thulium trifluoride

• ;Used for glass doping1• ;Used to enhance mid-IR emission in oxyfluoride glass ceramics2

The Uses of Thulium trifluoride

DYSPROSIUM CHLORIDE has specialized uses in laser glass, phosphors and Dysprosium Metal halide lamp. Dysprosium is used in conjunction with Vanadium and other elements, in making laser materials and commercial lighting. Dysprosium is one of the components of Terfenol-D,which is employed in transducers, wide-band mechanical resonators, and high-precision liquid-fuel injectors.

The Uses of Thulium trifluoride

Thulium(III) fluoride is used for glass doping, and used to enhance mid-IR emission in oxyfluoride glass ceramics. It is also used to improve ultraviolet and visible upconversion fluorescence in fluorinated glasses.
