Интерференция Обыкновенных и Необыкновенных Лучей в Тетрагональных Кристаллах Дифосфидов Цинка и Кадмия

Abstract

The optical birefringence of tetragonal crystals zinc and cadmium diphosphides are investigated. The ordinary and extraordinary waves interference and cause of the optical activity oscillation effects where studied. It is shown, that the investigations of the chromatic polarization and oscillation effects in the transmission of crystals embedded between two crossed polarizers, allow us to define the birefringence and gyratory characteristics of the crystals.
