MEASUREMENT TECHNIQUEThe measurement technique consists primarily of a measurement of the variation of the angle of deviation with temperature. The crystals to be measured were 60-60-60° prisms approximately 15 mm on a side. They were attached to a temperature-controlled mount in a vacuum chamber.

The variant of refractive indices with temperature is an essential crystal parameter in nonlinear optics. it is well known that the wavelength at which 90° phase-matched 2nd-harmonic era happens depends on temperature. the variation of this wavelength with temperature can be predicted with a
