Conoscopic Patterns for Optically Uniaxial Gyrotropic Crystals in the Vicinity of Isotropic Point
arXiv:0708.4113 · doi:10.3116/16091833/7/3/89/2006
Abstract
We have presented computer simulations of conoscopic patterns occurring in optically uniaxial gyrotropic crystals in the vicinity of isotropic point for a number of sets of crystal parameters and orientations. The appearance of special directions characterized by equalization of linear and circular birefringences has been revealed.
