YVO4 birefringence crystal

The yttrium orthvanadate (YVO4) is a positive uniaxial crystal grown with Czochralski method. The yttrium orthvanadate (YVO4) is a positive uniaxial crystal grown with Czochralski method. It has good temperature stability and physical and mechanical properties, wide transparency and large birefringence, so it is also ideal for optical components such as fiber optical isolators and circulators, beam displaces and other polarizing optics, etc. Sellmeier Equation (l in mm): no2=3.77834 + 0.069736/(l2 - 0.04724) - 0.0108133l2 ne2=4.59905 + 0.110534/(l2 - 0.04813) - 0.0122676l2
