Optical path in birefringent media and Fermat's principle

In this paper we propose a definition for the optical path in birefringent crystals. We apply this definition to light refraction in a crystal-crystal interface by means of Fermat's principle. The result obtained is confirmed by applying Snell's law generalized for crystals and the relatio...
