Abstract

We systematically measured the photo-elastic parameter f s of PbWO4 (PWO) for crystals of different thicknesses. We observed a linear behaviour of f s as a function of the thickness for low level applied stresses. This result was corroborated by numerical simulations. f s allows the evaluation of the residual internal stress, useful for crystal quality control. In this work, we also propose a new polariscope based on laser light, which allows a fast measurement and mapping of the internal stress of crystals with high resolution owing to the reduced laser-beam dimension.
