Description:
The refractive index dispersion of the γ-BiB 3 O 6 crystal in the wavelength range 0.43–0.81 μm has been measured. It has been shown that the principal refractive indices n 1 , n 2 , and n 3 are on average higher than those of α-BiB 3 O 6 , but are slightly lower than those of δ-BiB 3 O 6 . The temperature dependences of the rotation angle φ( T ) of the optical indicatrix and birefringence Δ n 2 ( T ) = ( n 1 − n 3 )( T ) have been studied in the temperature range 100–963 K. It has been shown that the γ-BiB 3 O 6 crystal is stable in this temperature region. Content Type Journal Article Category Dielectrics Pages 1966-1969 DOI 10.1134/S1063783412100228 Authors S. V.
