Its always great to mention optics cause we live next to a huge optics company. | |||
Anyways Lithium is used in optics sometimes in focal lenses, including spectacles and the glass for the 200-inch (5.08 m) telescope at Mt. Palomar in Sandiago Calafronia. | |||
Lithium fluoride, artificially grown as crystal, is clear and transparent and often used in specialist optics for IR, UV and VUV (vacuum UV) applications. It has the lowest refractive index and the farthest transmission range in the deep UV of all common materials. | |||

Lithium applications are used in more than 60% of mobile phones. Lithium niobate is used extensively in telecommunication products such as mobile phones and optical modulators, for such components as resonant crystals. -Which basicly produce the signal of your phone.
