Opis

In recent years, the research on crystalline materials has been intensified with the development of science and technology, and various instruments using new functional crystals have been manufactured and widely applied. Light in a crystal propagates in a different manner than in air or other isotropic media. The study of the propagation of light in crystals is called crystal optics. Crystal optics are based on physical optics. Physical optics is the study of the interaction of light and matter with the wave theory of all optical phenomena occurring in linear systems. When light is incident on an anisotropic crystal, the interaction between light and crystal results in a birefringence phenomenon in which a ray is propagated by splitting it into two rays of different polarization characteristics, which is a typical crystal optic effect.Starting from this starting point, this book is written for the purpose of giving the good knowledge of linear optical phenomena caused by the interaction of light and matter with crystals.
