      Filippov, V.; Yumashev, K. V.; Kuleshov, N. V.; Pavlyuk, A. A.; Loiko, P. A. (Elsevier, 2014)
      The analytical expressions for thermo-optic coefficients, dn/dT, for “fast” and “slow” light waves propagating along the arbitrary direction in a biaxial crystal are derived. On the basis of these expressions, the all-space analysis of existence of athermal directions is performed for monoclinic and biaxial KY(WO4)2 at 1.03 μm. The calculations are performed for an arbitrary light ...
