Thermo-optic coefficients of monoclinic Er3+:(GdY)2SiO5 crystal

Thermo-optic coefficients of the Er3+-doped gadolinium-yttrium oxyorthosilicate crystal Er3+:GdYSO are determined at a wavelength of 632.8 nm for light polarizations E // Np, Nm and Ng. Linear thermal expansion coefficients are estimated for this crystal in the directions of the optical indicatrix axes Nm and Ng
