摘要
We proposed a spectrum method to determine birefraction of the sample. When the infrared incident light transmits in the birefraction direction of the cube crystal, because of the birefraction of the sample, the transmit spectrum appears interference fringes. The equation Delta n = 1/[D(d upsilon/dm)] shows the relationship between the birefraction and the wave-number, with the interference-number of crystals in the infrared band at room temperature. Via the infrared transmitting along the x-axis of cube lithium niobate crystal, the interference fringes were found. By the fitted polynomial method, the relationship of the birefraction and the wave-number or wavelength of the lithium niobate crystal be educed, which is, Delta n =0.4149 - 9.00174 x 10(-5)upsilon+5.64347 x 10(-9)upsilon(2),or n=0.05366 - 5.20334 x 10(-5)lambda + 3.99694 x 10(-8)lambda(2).
