Abstract
The ordinary and the extraordinary complex refractive index of PbWO4 t ogether with the crystal optical axis orientation are determined on th e basis of transmittance and reflectance measurements at normal incide nce with polarised light and the measurement of the separation angle b etween the ordinary and the extraordinary ray at various laser wavelen gths. The real part of the extraordinary complex refractive index is l ower than the ordinary one (i.e. PbWO4 is a negative uniaxial crystal) and they seem not to be affected by a 30 ppm Nb5+ doping.
