The influence of uniaxial mechanical stresses, applied along the principal
crystal-physical axes, on the principal values of birefringence ?ni is
studied for TGS crystals with 5% L-threonine admixture. It is revealed
that ?ni are quite sensitive to the mechanical stresses. The baric coefficients
dTc/dsm
for the phase transition temperature appear to be less than those for the
pure TGS. Temperature dependences and dispersion of the piezooptic coefficients
are calculated. The jump-like changes in all of the piezooptic coefficients
occurring at the Curie temperature in the doped crystals are explained
with the contrib-utions of a secondary electrooptic effect.
Key words: birefringence, uniaxial pressure, phase transitions, piezooptic
coefficients
