Examples of birefringence
birefringence
G.F. built the polarimeter, fabricated cells and made birefringence measurements.

Calcium pyrophosphate crystals, in contrast, show weak positive birefringence.

However, the use of birefringence in this way has significant problems in practice.
From the sciencedaily.com
Discovered birefringence, but was unable to give a scientific explanation.

Another is birefringence, where a double image appears when looking through a crystal.
From the en.wikipedia.org
Another form of birefringence is observed in anisotropic elastic materials.

She showed me the birefringence, I remember playing with it for hours.

Birefringence of lipid bilayers can be measured using dual polarisation interferometry.
From the en.wikipedia.org
However, when they are under mechanical stress, birefringence results.

- Double refraction: splitting a ray into two parallel rays polarized perpendicularly
- (birefringent) relating to or characterized by double refraction
- Birefringence, or double refraction, is the decomposition of a ray of light (and other electromagnetic radiation) into two rays (the ordinary ray and the extraordinary ray) when it passes through certain types of material, such as calcite crystals or boron nitride, depending on the polarization ...
- (Birefringent) Having a refractive index that differs for light of different polarizations.
- (Birefringent) the resolution or splitting of a light wave into two unequally reflected or transmitted waves by an optically anisotropic medium such as calcite or quartz
- Splitting of light passing through certain kinds of crystals into two rays at polarized right angles to each other.
- Also called double refraction. The property of uniaxial anisotropic materials in which light propagates at different velocities, depending on its direction of polarization relative to the optic axis. ...
- Optical distortion caused by different indices of refraction for separate directions of polarization, often caused by stress in the optical medium. Produced during CD or DVD injection molding by shrinkage, flow lines, and inclusions in the substrate. Usually more severe near the outer diameter.
- An optical property of crystal in which a single ray of light can be split into two rays of unequal velocities and each vibrating in different directions.
