Description
Ytterbium Fluoride (YbF3), also known as Ytterbium trifluoride, is a crystalline ionic compound. It is slightly soluble in water. Ytterbium Fluoride is widely used in fluoride glass.
Ytterbium Fluoride is applied to numerous fiber amplifier and fiber optic technologies, High purity grades are widely applied as a doping agent for garnet crystals in lasers a important colourant in glasses and porcelain enamel glazes. Ytterbium Fluoride is a water insoluble Ytterbium source for use in oxygen-sensitive applications, such as metal production.

Application
Fluoride is widely used in laboratory reagents, optical fiber doping, laser materials, fluorspar light-emitting materials, optical fiber, optical coating materials, and electronic materials.
