方解石
The “double-bending” of a beam transmitted
through calcite, is called double refraction.
2)the ordinary ray (O-ray) and the extraordinary
ray (e-ray).(1687年惠更斯研究)
a)two beams are polarized light with their planes
of vibration at right angles to each other.
O光
e光
b)O-ray obey the refraction law.
The crystal has a single index
of refraction no.
c)The e –ray index of
refraction varies with
direction from no
to a smaller value
(for calcite) ne.
(与入射角有关
且不为定值)
对O光:
对e光:
(与入射角无关
且为定值)
e光在晶体中传播,光速是一变值。

3)optic axis 光轴

a)optic axis 光轴---
光轴
The direction at which a beam transmitted through calcite without double refraction called optic axis.
b) The optic axis is found
by erecting a line at
either of the two corners
where three obtuse angles meet (the “blunt ” corners),
making equal angles 68º with the crystal edges.
Any line in the crystal parallel to this line is also
an optic axis.
光轴
4)principal section 主截面
The principal section is
consist of the normal to
crystal surface and optic
axis.
Any section in the crystal
parallel to this section is
also the principal section.
注意:
when incident ray lie in the principal section, the
vibration of O-ray normal to the principal section
and the vibration of e-ray parallel to the
principal section.

入射面在主截面内时,o光e光的振动面互相垂直
Two planes of vibration at right angles to each other.
且o光为振动面垂直
于主截面的偏振光;
e光为振动面平行于
主截面的偏振光;

negative crystal
Negative crystal: ne < no
Positive crystal: ne > no

6)用惠更斯原理解释双折射现象
因O光沿各向传播的速度是相同的,故O光的波面是球面。
而e光在晶体内沿各向传播的
速度不相同,所以e光的波面
是椭球面。
