Abstract: The different optical dispersion parameters of SrLaAlO4 single crystals have been studied by the transmission and reflection measurements at normal incidence for the three orientations 001, 100 and 101 in the spectral range 400nm-2500nm.The optical absorption data revealed the existance of allowed indirect and direct transition. The refractive index has abnormal behaviour in the spectral region 400-900nm, but has a normal one in the higher wavelength region. The optical dispersion parameters, the single oscillator energy Eo and the dispersion energy Ed were determined and indicated the ionic structure of the material. The high-frequency dielectric constant, the lattice dielectric constant and the electronic polarizability were determined by the free carriers and the lattice vibration modes. The real dielectric constant ε1 the dielectric loss tangent (tanδ), the volume (VELF) and the surface energy loss function (SELF) have also been discussed.
