Abstract

Abstract: Using the original method, based on measurements of thermally induced depolarization, the optical anisotropy parameters of CaF2, BaF2 and SrF2 cubic crystals were measured and compared with what is known from the literature. Euler angles of crystallographic axis orientation [C], in which the thermally induced depolarization is minimal, were determined using experimental results for studied fluorides.
