Abstract
We determined the thermo-optic coefficients of ${\rm{C}}{{\rm{r}}^{3 +}}$-doped beryllium hexaaluminate crystal (${\rm{C}}{{\rm{r}}^{3 +}}:{\rm{BeA}}{{\rm{l}}_6}{{\rm{O}}_{10}}$) for light polarizations ${\textbf{E}}\;||\;{N_p}$, ${{\rm{N}}_m}$, and ${{\rm{N}}_g}$, and present the thermo-optic dispersion formulas for the principal thermo-optic coefficients of ${\rm{C}}{{\rm{r}}^{3 +}}:{\rm{BeA}}{{\rm{l}}_6}{{\rm{O}}_{10}}$. We also measured the linear thermal expansion coefficients for this crystal in the directions of optical indicatrix axes ${{\rm{N}}_p}$, ${{\rm{N}}_m}$, and ${{\rm{N}}_g}$. Finally, we modeled the thermo-optic dispersion data in accordance with theory, taking into account contributions both from the change of the electronic bandgap with temperature and from the volumetric thermal expansion coefficient.
