Dispersion of photoelastic constants in doped KDP crystals

Abstract

The photoelastic behaviour of kdp crystals with additives like borax, adp, nickel phosphate, manganese phosphate and sodium dihydrogen orthophosphate has been studied as a variable birefringent compensator. The dispersion of the stress birefringence with wavelength was studied for a single orientation. © 1983 the Indian Academy of Sciences.
