Abstract
In the following work the results of temperature dependence refractive indices measurements, thermooptical coefficients and dispersion in a wide range of temperature are presented. For measurements of refractive indices the least deviation method was employed. The measurements were carried out in the temperature region of 20–800° C for BBO crystals and 20–600° C for LBO crystals. It is revealed that the character of the refractive indices change in these crystals is different although the refractive indices of both crystals decrease while temperature increases. Whereas the temperature dependence of refractive indices in Ba B2O4 is practically linear, the same temperature dependence in LiB3O5 has more complicated character. It contains some particular features of refractive indices dispersion and thermooptical coefficients.
