Optical properties of KNbO3

E. Wiesendanger
- 01 Jan 1970 - 
TL;DR: In this article, birefringence and refractive indices were measured in the orthorhombic, tetragonal and cubic phases of a perovskite material and the dispersion of the refractive index was discussed in terms of a singleoscillator model.
