Optical Materials Characterization

Abstract

The piezo-optic constants of CaF2, BaF2, and SrF2 have been measured at 0.6328 micrometers and 1.15 micrometers. The temperature dependence of the refractive indices of CdF2, MgF2, and NaCl have been measured at several wavelengths in the infrared by the method of Fizeau interferometry. The linear thermal expansion coefficients of NaCl and CdF2 as a function of temperature have also been measured.
