Abstract

Detailed refractive indices measurements of transparent LiNbO₃, LiTaO₃ and (Ba,Na)NbO₃ crystals in the temperature region 20-700 degree(s)C are reported. It is obtained that, besides the similarity in chemical compound and structure, optical properties of these crystals are different. The important common feature of lithium niobate and lithium tantalate crystal is dispersion of thermooptical coefficients. It is shown that phase transitions with different character take place at approximately 600 degree(s) in all measured crystals. Phase transitions are accompanied by such optical appearances as diffraction and coexistence of phases.
