Digital Refractometry of Piezoelectric Crystalline Media

Abstract

The current report is an Interim Report for an SBIR Phase II award and commenced on August 1, 1987. The contractual objectives of this program are as follows: 1. Perform a theoretical analysis of the measurement of piezoelectric crystals using Dual-Beam Digital Refractometry, 2. Set up the laboratory configuration to determine the refractive indices of piezoelectric crystals using a HeNe Laser source, 3. Determine the refractive indices of various piezoelectric crystals, 4. Expand the measurements to the ultraviolet and infrared regions, and 5. Analyze the requirements for applying Dual-Beam Digital Refractometry to the millimeter and the microwave regions. Contract objective 1 has been completed and is now being written up as a publication. Contract objective 2 was completed by the end of August, 1988. Measurements are now being performed on various samples and the first results will be submitted by the end of February, 1989. Contract objectives 3, 4, and 5 will be completed at the end of the contract, February, 1990.
