Abstract

An angular dispersion-type Fabry-Perot interferometer (ADFPI) was used to measure the Brillouin scattering spectra of nearly stoichiometric composition of lithium niobate single crystals. A high-reflectivity and -flatness solid etalon and a highly sensitive charge-coupled-device (CCD) detector were employed to obtain high-resolution spectra and to reduce the acquisition time significantly compared to the conventional scanning-type Brillouin scattering measurement. The temperature dependence of acoustic properties was investigated in a broad temperature range by ADFPI and the longitudinal and transverse sound velocities were determined between 100 and 900 K.
