Abstract

High-quality crystals of gallium selenide (GaSe) and thallium arsenic selenide (Tl₃AsSe₃) were successfully grown. The refractive indices were measured in the subterahertz spectral region using time-domain spectroscopy. GaSe has a refractive index of 3.2 and an absorption coefficient of 1 cm^–1, along with an absorption peak at 0.6 THz. Tl₃AsSe₃ clearly shows birefringence, where the refractive indices are 5.0 and 5.4 along the fast and slow axes, respectively. The absorption coefficient is over 3 cm^–1 at 0.3 THz, increasing steadily with frequency.
