substrates respectively at different deposited rates and specific substrate temperatures. Transmittances of all fluoride thin films are measured through a commercial spectrometer in the ambient atmosphere and wavelength regions from 190 nm to 500 nm
and measured through synchrotron radiation under vacuum in the wavelength regions from 120 nm to 300 nm. The optical constants of these materials are determined by a envelope method and a simulated annealing method
which matches the calculated and measured values of the transmittance.Measured results indicate that the refractive indexes are about 1.77~1.89 at 157 nm for LaF
