Holodiagrams in birefringent media

The modifications to the holodiagram concept to describe free propagation (the extraordinary ray) inside birefringent materials are described. Holodiagrams are graphs showing the loci where the sum or the difference in the optical path from a generic point to two foci is the same. The holodiagrams o...

Holodiagrams are graphs showing the loci where the sum or the difference in the optical path from a generic point to two foci is the same.
