Ray-tracing formulas for refraction and internal reflection in uniaxial crystals

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Formulas for the calculation of the direction cosines of refracted and internally reflected rays in anisotropic uniaxial crystals are presented. The method is based on a transformation to a nonorthonormal coordinate system in which the normal surface associated with the extraordinary ray is of spherical shape. A numerical example for the case of refraction and internal reflection in calcite is given.
