The optical properties of single-crystal thin films of Sr0.61Ba0.39Nb2O6, with a thickness of ~646 nm, synthesized on MgO (001) substrates using high-frequency cathode sputtering in an oxygen atmosphere, have been studied using spectrophotometry in the spectral range 200-1000 nm and at temperatures between 299.15-393.15 K. It has been observed that the edge of the optical absorption in the transmission spectra of the Sr0.61Ba0.39Nb2O6/MgO system shifts towards the long-wavelength region with increasing temperature. The dispersion dependences of the refractive index n(λ) and extinction coefficient k(λ) of the film have been calculated at fixed temperatures. It has been shown that the film has slightly lower values of these optical parameters compared to the single-crystal Sr0.61Ba0.39Nb2O6 material. The dispersion of n(λ) has been interpreted within the framework of the individual dipole oscillator model and approximated using the Cauchy relation. The results obtained in this study indicate the stability of the optical properties of Sr0.61Ba0.39Nb2O6 heterostructures grown on MgO substrates over a given wavelength range within the specified temperature range. Keywords: thin films, strontium barium niobate, SBN, transmission spectrum, absorption edge, Urbach energy, band gap.
