10. 8.1.2 Double Refraction • In an anisotropic dielectric the phase velocity of an electromagnetic wave • Depends on its polarization and its direction of propagation • The solution to Maxwell’s electromagnetic wave equations for a plane wave show that it is the vectors D and E • The classical example of an anisotropic crystal is calcite (CaCO3) • First recorded observation of ‘double refraction’ • The particular arrangement of atoms in calcite, light generally propagates at a speed depending on the orientation of its plane of polarization relative to the crystal structure • For one particular direction, the optic axis, the speed of propagation is dependent of the orientation of the plane of polarization • Crystal may have two optic axes • Orthorhombic, monoclinic and triclinic crystals are biaxial • Hexagonal, tetragonal and trigonal crystals are uniaxial • Cubic crystals are isotropic

11. 8.1.2 Double Refraction • The situation can be analyzed more closely by considering a source of monochromatic light located at S in Fig. 8.4 • One with a spherical surface and the other with an ellipsoidal surface • A wavefront is the locus of points of equal phase, i.e. the radii (e.g. SO and SE), which are proportional to the ray speeds and inversely proportional to the refractive indices • Fig. 8.4 is a principal section of the wavefront surface • The ordinary or o rays : the electrical displacement component of the wave vibrates at right angles to the principal section travel at a constant speed irrespective of direction • The extraordinary or e rays : the electric displacement component lies in the principal section travel at a speed which depends on direction • The refractive index ne for an e ray propagating along SX is one of the two principal refractive indices of a uniaxial crystal; the other, no refers to the o rays
