Abstract

The temperature variations of the refractive indices of LiYF₄, YLF, have been measured in the visible region of the spectrum. The temperature variation at 0.546 μm are −0.67×10⁻⁶/°C and −2.30×10⁻⁶/°C for the ordinary and extraordinary refractive indices, respectively. A Sellmeier equation was fit to more extensive room-temperature refractive-index data measured elsewhere.
