Study On Uniaxial and Biaxial Crystals in Finsler Space
Keywords:
Crystal Optics, Uniaxial, Biaxial, Optical AnisotropyAbstract
In this paper we have studied the application of Finsler geometry to physics is crystal optics and the symmetry properties. The transparent crystals fall into only three distinct classes from the point of view of their optical properties, biaxial, uniaxial and isotropic crystals. Here we have studied biaxial crystal and uniaxial crystal, since the isotropic crystals behave optically as amorphous bodies they have no optical anisotropy and correspond to Euclidean geometry.
