Abstract
Ammonium pentaborate (APB) is an orthorhombic crystal of mm2(C 2v ) class. In the present investigation the authors present the results on the stress birefringence of APB under linear and hydrostatic stresses. It is shown that from stress birefringence measurements under linear stresses alone, the effect of hydrostatic pressure on the birefringences of an orthorhombic crystal can be obtained. A comparison is drawn between the natural birefringence and stress birefringence under linear and hydrostatic stresses.
