Optical anisotropy induced by torsion stresses in LiNbO3 crystals: appearance of an optical vortex

Ihor Skab, Yurij Vasylkiv, Viktoriya Savaryn +1

We report the results of studies of torsion effect on the optical birefringence in LiNbO3 crystals. We have found that twisting of those crystals causes a birefringence distributio…
