Optical Materials Characterization.

Abstract

The refractive indices of three prisms of chemical vapor deposited ZnS were measured at room temperature over the wavelength range 540 nm to 1.083 micrometers. The refractive indices of eight specimens of CaF2 doped with Er were measured from 404.7 nm to 1.083 micrometers. The doping range was 0.001% to 3% Er. Interferometric measurements of dn/dT were made over the temperature range -180 to 200 C at the wavelengths 632.8 nm and 3.39 micrometers on single crystal specimens of BaF2, CaF2, reactive atmosphere processed (RAP) KBr, RAP KCl, KCl, doped with KI, LiF, NaF and SrF2, and on chemical vapor deposited (CVD) ZnSe and hot forged CaF2.
