Birefringence

Source 📝

2009:. Polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography measurements obtained from healthy human subjects have demonstrated a change in birefringence of the retinal nerve fiber layer as a function of location around the optic nerve head. The same technology was recently applied in the living human retina to quantify the polarization properties of vessel walls near the optic nerve. While retinal vessel walls become thicker and less birefringent in patients who suffer from hypertension, hinting at a decrease in vessel wall condition, the vessel walls of diabetic patients do not experience a change in thickness, but do see an increase in birefringence, presumably due to fibrosis or inflammation. 1896: 553: 1887: 754: 32: 5416: 2051: 4822: 5807: 871: 20: 2093: 4936: 4378: 5487: 565:, and this has affected some terminology in use. Isotropic materials have symmetry in all directions and the refractive index is the same for any polarization direction. An anisotropic material is called "birefringent" because it will generally refract a single incoming ray in two directions, which we now understand correspond to the two different polarizations. This is true of either a uniaxial or biaxial material. 1776: 5411:{\displaystyle {\frac {\omega ^{4}}{c^{4}}}-{\frac {\omega ^{2}}{c^{2}}}\left({\frac {k_{x}^{2}+k_{y}^{2}}{n_{z}^{2}}}+{\frac {k_{x}^{2}+k_{z}^{2}}{n_{y}^{2}}}+{\frac {k_{y}^{2}+k_{z}^{2}}{n_{x}^{2}}}\right)+\left({\frac {k_{x}^{2}}{n_{y}^{2}n_{z}^{2}}}+{\frac {k_{y}^{2}}{n_{x}^{2}n_{z}^{2}}}+{\frac {k_{z}^{2}}{n_{x}^{2}n_{y}^{2}}}\right)\left(k_{x}^{2}+k_{y}^{2}+k_{z}^{2}\right)=0} 890:), crystals in that group may be forced to be isotropic (not birefringent), to have uniaxial symmetry, or neither in which case it is a biaxial crystal.
