Gc. Bhar et P. Kumbhakar, COMMENT ON DISPERSION OF BIREFRINGENCE IN AGGAS2 AND CUGAS2 [J. APPL.PHYS. 82, 3100 (1997)], Journal of applied physics, 84(4), 1998, pp. 2364-2364
The importance of long wavelength natural birefringence in AgGaS2 is p
ointed out for nonlinear laser devices. Such an important aspect is ab
sent in the model presented by Choi et al. [J. Appl. Phys. 82, 3100 (1
997)]. Their model represents birefringence dispersion but locates the
isotropic point at 0.52 mu m instead of where actually found at 0.497
mu m. (C) 1998 American Institute of Physics. [S0021-8979(98)03116-8]
