Dielectric properties of RbCl-RbBr mixed crystals

A systematic measurement of dielectric constant and loss on RbCl-RbBr mixed crystals in various compositions has been carried out in the frequency range 100 Hz to 100 kHz and in the temperature range from room temperature to 320°C. From these measurements the static dielectric constant, the Szigeti charge, the conductivity and the activation energy for conduction are evaluated. All these properties show a nonlinear composition dependence. Semiempirical equations proposed earlier are employed to evaluate the dielectric constant as a function of composition. The validity of these relations is also discussed.     

Refractive indices of SrTiO3 in the infrared region

We measured transmittance and reflectance spectra of SrTiO₃ crystals in the infrared region, at 200 and 100 K.

We thus provide detailed n(v) and k(v) data at 300, 200, 100, and 20 K, in the frequency range 25–16000 cm⁻¹.     

Refractive index, birefringence, third-order non-linearity and piezoelectric resonance studies of L-lysine monohydrochloride dihydrate single crystals

The principal refractive indices of L-lysine monohydrochloride dihydrate (L-LMHCl) single crystal for different wavelengths were measured by minimum deviation method at room temperature. The experimental values of refractive indices fit well with the theoretical Cauchy's equations. The birefringence and the crossing angle between the optical axes were calculated. The parameters of Sellmeier's single term dispersion equation were determined by least square method. A simple interferometric technique was used to observe the interference patterns along the optic plane and to qualitatively analyze the optical homogeneity of the grown crystal. The nonlinear refractive index (n₂) and nonlinear absorption coefficient (β) were also determined using Z-scan technique. The piezoelectric resonance in dielectric dispersions was observed at room temperature.     

Calculation of the absorption coefficients of optical materials by measuring the transmissivities and refractive indices

In this paper, a formula for accurate calculation of the absorption coefficient of optical material is deduced by the relationship of its transmissivity, refractive index and absorption coefficient. Because the values of transmissivity and refractive index of the optical material with a higher accuracy can be determined by the instruments or obtained directly from the references, the calculated results of the absorption coefficients with a higher accuracy is certified. The absorption coefficients of some optical materials are calculated with it, and the results are discussed.     

X-ray diffraction studies of RbBr-RbI mixed crystals

Mixed crystals of RbBr and RbI have been prepared from melt. Using an X-ray diffractometer powder patterns have been recorded. The lattice constants show slightly positive deviations from Vegard’s law. From the integrated intensities, the mean Debye-Waller factor has been determined. The Debye-Waller factor shows a highly non-linear composition dependence with positive deviations from linearity, the values for intermediate compositions exceeding those for the end members. The Debye temperatures calculated from the Debye-Waller factors show a non-linear composition dependence with negative deviations from linearity.     

Interferometric determination of the refractive indices and birefringence of some highly oriented fibres

Variable wavelength interferometric technique (VAWI) is a direct method for determining the refractive indices and birefringence of highly oriented fibres. This method uses the polarizing interference Pluta microscope with a monochromatic light from wedge interference filter that provides a continuously variable wavelength. The standard calibration process of the Pluta polarizing interference microscope is carried out and a calibration graph is obtained. The refractive indices and birefringence of PEN, CONEX and TECHNORA were measured over the visible range of the spectrum and the constants for the Cauchy's dispersion formula were determined. The oscillation and dispersion energies were calculated from the measurements of the refractive index.

Interface phonon-polaritons in quantum well systems of polar ternary mixed crystals

The interface phonon-polaritons in quantum well systems consisting of polar ternary mixed crystals are investi-gated. The numerical results of the interface phonon-polariton frequencies in the GaAs/AlxGa1-xAs, ZnSxSe1-x/ZnS, and ZnxCd1-xSe/ ZnSe quantum well systems are obtained and discussed. It is shown that there are six branches of interface phonon-polariton modes distributed in three bulk phonon-polariton forbidden bands in the systems. The electric fields of interface phonon-polaritons are also presented and show the interface locality of the modes. The effects of the ’two-mode’ and ’one-mode’ behaviours of the ternary mixed crystals on the interface phonon-polariton modes are shown in the dispersion curves.

Experimental research of liquid refractive index sensing by optical fiber and colloidal crystal's photonic band-gap

We use the changes of colloidal photonic crystal photonic band-gap center wavelength to research the refractive index sensing by experiment. The changes in the center wavelength of the colloidal crystals photonic band-gap are analyzed. A mold is designed to obtain a controllable self-assembly method, colloidal crystals are observed by scan electronic microscope (SEM) and the band-gap is measured by infrared spectrometer. The results are agreed well with the theoretical analysis. An experimental device is designed to test liquid refractive index. The couple of the fibers are used to measure the band-gap of colloidal crystals and the results are also discussed in theory. The results show that the band-gap of colloidal crystals can be used to measure the liquid refractive index. The new sensing mechanism is formed and it provides a new application of colloidal crystals in the sensing.     

A simple model for evaluation of refractive indices of some binary and ternary mixed crystals

In view of the importance of binary and ternary mixed crystals for heterojunction LED and solar-cell applications, a method for evaluating the high-frequency refractive indices of such crystals is presented using a modified Penn-gap model. The theoretical predictions agree quite well with the experimental results. The model is also applied to evaluate the temperature and pressure coefficients of refractive indices of binary and ternary crystals. The close agreement between the calculated and experimental values justifies the validity of the approach.     

Refractive index of standard oils as a function of wavelength and temperature

The refractive indices (n) of eight standard oils from Physikalisch Technische Bundesanstalt, Germany were determined with an accuracy of ±1×10⁻⁴ by using Abbe Refractometer. The measurements were performed at temperature 20°C in the spectral range 0.4–0.7 μm. The experimental data were fitted to the simple Cauchy dispersion formula and the results were found to be consistent within the limits of experimental error. In all cases, the refractive index decreased monotonically with increasing wavelength. The refractive indices (n) of these oils have been measured as a function of the temperature t (20°C up to 50°C) at λ=0.589 μm and were found to have linear temperature dependencies. The refractive indices of the studied oils and the uncertainty in their values are calculated at λ=0.589. The Lorentz–Lorenz (L–L) formula has been tested and it was found to be valid with a maximum deviation of 0.4% and was used to calculate the molecular polarizability θ.     

Refractive indices and thermo-optical properties of dye laser solvents

By measuring the wavelength tuning of a distributed feedback dye laser, solvent refractive-index changes as small as 0.0002 may be determined. This technique hence allows precise measurement of refractive-index dependence on temperature (dn/dT) and therefore enables the thermo-optical properties of solvents used in dye lasers to be assessed. In addition to single component solvents, the thermo-optical properties of solvent mixtures and additives are reported here. The refractive-index change with temperature (dn/dT) is related to solvent density change with temperature (dq/dT) through molecular polarizability.
