Abstract

Triglycine sulphate, (NH 2 CH 2 CO 2 H) 3 H 2 SO 4 (TGS), is a ferroelectric crystal widely used in optical properties studies, phase transitions theory as well as test for experimental techniques. Lead monohydrogen phosphate, PbHPO 4 (LHP), is a typical representative of the family of ferroelectric schultenites, suitable in testing microscopic theories of ferroelectricity. In this work the so-called high-accuracy universal polarimeter (HAUP) has been used to determine the natural anisotropy in the birefringent crystalline sections (010), obtaining the temperature dependence of optical anisotropy magnitudes of the crystal: gyrotropy, birefringence and optical indicatrix rotation. Our HAUP technique also permits to investigate the electro-optic (EO) coefficients associated to the phases above and below phase transition temperatures.
