Abstract

We show that in interpreting the conoscopic interference fringes, one should exercise care in employing approximate expressions which fail for certain crystal cuts. In this paper, we study 64°- and 128°-rotated Y-cut and Z-cut LiNbO3 wafers. We show that the error made in using the approximate formulae for the samples is more than 25% and that one has to use exact formulae in order to attain quantitative agreement with the experimental data.
