... as that in which the spectral interference fringes should be fully observable. It was revealed that due to the limited resolving power of the spectrometer S2000 [19] the OPDs between beams of the interferometer can be adjusted in the ranges approximately from –80 to –5 µm and from 5 to 80 µm. As an ...

... Skew rays propagate without passing through the central axis of the fiber. In fact the skew rays go on spiralling around the axis of the optical fiber. The light energy carried by them is effectively confined to an annular region around the axis as shown in figure 3.6. Consequently, at the output, s ...

Birefringence



Birefringence is the optical property of a material having a refractive index that depends on the polarization and propagation direction of light. These optically anisotropic materials are said to be birefringent (or birefractive). The birefringence is often quantified as the maximum difference between refractive indices exhibited by the material. Crystals with asymmetric crystal structures are often birefringent, as are plastics under mechanical stress.Birefringence is responsible for the phenomenon of double refraction whereby a ray of light, when incident upon a birefringent material, is split by polarization into two rays taking slightly different paths. This effect was first described by the Danish scientist Rasmus Bartholin in 1669, who observed it in calcite, a crystal having one of the strongest birefringences. However it was not until the 19th century that Augustin-Jean Fresnel described the phenomenon in terms of polarization, understanding light as a wave with field components in transverse polarizations (perpendicular to the direction of the wave vector).
