Abstract

Wave propagation through crystal was analysed using wave equation in conjunction with pseudo-dielectric function. Considered in the analysed were the patterns of propagated wave for UV, Visible and near Infrared for a particular value of dielectric constant of the crystal. The relationship between wavenumber and refractive, optical conductance and absorption co-efficient were analysed. The effects of focusing angle on the crystal for various wave-length regions were also considered.
