Abstract
Using a combination of three techniques, ellipsometry, interferometry and transmission measurements, the temperature dependence of refractive index (n) and absorption coefficient (α) of CdSiP2 for light polarization along and perpendicular to the c-axis of the crystal was determined. GaAs was also studied using the same techniques to determine n and α expanded over the spectral and temperature ranges available in the literature (0.9 to 25 μm for n, over temperature range of 77 to 500 K). values of α in the 0.85 to 0.9 μm region of GaAs and in the 0.5 to 0.6 μm band-edge region of CdSiP2.
