about
A monochromatic plane wave propagates in a birefringent uniaxial material. The page calculates the extraordinary refractive index for a given direction of propagation in a plane containing the optical axis as a function of the ordinary refraction index, the extraordinary refraction index in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis and the angle made by the direction of propagation referred to the optical axis.
