The matrix formulation for the optical invariant: Application to uniaxial prisms

With a birefringent uniaxial prism one obtains ordinary and extraordinary spectral lines and one can observe an inclination between them. The inclination will be calculated by applying the Lagrange-Helmholtz matrix formulation. The results of an experiment using a specially constructed prism are des...

Sumario:With a birefringent uniaxial prism one obtains ordinary and extraordinary spectral lines and one can observe an inclination between them. The inclination will be calculated by applying the Lagrange-Helmholtz matrix formulation. The results of an experiment using a specially constructed prism are described. © 1997 IOP Publishing Ltd.
