Abstract

The dispersion of half wave voltages with wave length and temperature of potassium dihydrogen ortho phosphate (KDP) crystals with additives and dopants like borax, nickel phosphate, manganese phosphate, sodium dihydrogen orthophosphate and potassium arsenate were determined. The refractive index for all the above crystals were found by the modified Rayleigh’s refractometer method. The linear electrooptic coefficients were calculated at various wavelengths of light. The variation of half wave voltage was also studied as a function of concentration of the dopant.
