Set-up for the precise determination of the photoelastic constants of dielectric materials — •Jan Meyer2, Johannes Dickmann1, Walter Dickmann1,2, Tim Käseberg1, and Stefanie Kroker1,21Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt Braunschweig, Bundesallee 100, 38116 Braunschweig, Germany — 2Technische Universität Braunschweig, LENA Laboratory for Emerging Nanometrology, Pockelsstraße 14, Braunschweig, Germany

Stress-induced birefringence due to the photo-elastic effect signficantly influences the functionality of optical and optomechanical devices, e.g. optical fibers or optical ring resonators. We present a set-up for the precise determination of the photoelastic constant. The sample is exposed to a well-defined stress applying a linear load. The birefringence is read out differentially using a polarimeter in transmission. In order to test the setup, the stress-induced birefringences of crystalline silicon and fused silica were characterized. The results are in good agreement with literature data. Since many high-precision optomechanical experiments operate at low-temperatures, corresponding measurements are in preparation.
