Birefringence — Displacement of light rays with perpendicular polarization through a birefringent material … Wikipedia
brewster — (B) a unit used in optics to measure stress induced birefringence. A material exhibits birefringence if it has different indices of refraction along different axes. Many crystals exhibit birefringence. In addition, certain substances,… … Dictionary of units of measurement
Brewster (unit) — The brewster (B) is a non SI unit used to measure the susceptibility of a material to photoelasticity, or the value of the Stress Optic Coefficient of the material. The unit has dimensions reciprocal to those of stress. One brewster is defined to … Wikipedia

Polarization mode dispersion — (PMD) is a form of modal dispersion where two different polarizations of light in a waveguide, which normally travel at the same speed, travel at different speeds due to random imperfections and asymmetries, causing random spreading of optical… … Wikipedia
Photoelasticity — is an experimental method to determine stress distribution in a material. The method is mostly used in cases where mathematical methods become quite cumbersome. Unlike the analytical methods of stress determination, photoelasticity gives a fairly … Wikipedia
Liquid crystal — Schlieren texture of liquid crystal nematic phase Liquid crystals (LCs) are a state of matter that have properties between those of a conventional liquid and those of a solid crystal.[1] For instance, an LC may flow like a liquid, but its… … Wikipedia
