Abstract
In this work spectrally dependent optical parameters of nominally pure single crystals of yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG) and lutetium aluminum garnet (LuAG) were studied using spectroscopy ellipsometry together with transmittance measurements in a broad spectral range from 0.73 to 6.42 eV (193–1700 nm). Obtained data in terms of complex refractive index and reflectivity represent an extension of previous studies towards the ultraviolet spectral region and provide a background for the design of a variety of optical applications such as laser host matrix systems, doped luminescence materials, optical imaging devices for semiconductor immersion lithography, construction of scintillators and other devices operating in the ultraviolet spectral region. A complete database of obtained optical parameters (real and imaginary parts of complex refractive index) in the whole spectral range is included in the supplementary part.
