Abstract

A 90°-domain structure was fabricated using electrical poling in ferroelectric birefringent KNbO3 crystal. The refraction and reflection characteristics of the light at the boundary of the 90°-domain structure were investigated, and the novel behavior of total refraction (no reflection) has been found for the P-polarized light throughout the entire range of incident angle (0≤θ≤90°). Strong refraction of the light was observed after it exited from the crystal output surface at the incidence parallel to the domain boundary. These behaviors were explained analytically.
