Abstract

Refractive indices of some transparent crystals containing Li and B ions were measured in wide temperature range. They are ferroelectrics LiNbO₃ and LiTaO₃, laser crystals BaB₂O₄ and LiB₃O₅, and lithium tetraborate. The refractive indices were measured by the least deviation method on goniometer-spectrometer with 1.5 (DOT) 10^-4 precision. Thermooptical coefficients were calculated on the basis of experimentally obtained temperature values of the refractive indices. A comparative analysis of temperature behavior of the refractive indices and the thermooptical coefficients for relative crystals of lithium niobate and lithium tantalate and also barium (beta) -borate and lithium triborate was carried out.
