Birefringence is the optical property of a material having a refractive index that depends on the polarization and propagation direction of light. These...

affect the polarization of light, but some materials—those that exhibit birefringence, dichroism, or optical activity—affect light differently depending on...

In biochemistry, flow birefringence is a hydrodynamic technique for measuring the rotational diffusion constants (or, equivalently, the rotational drag...

Optical rotation, also known as polarization rotation or circular birefringence, is the rotation of the orientation of the plane of polarization about...

the Very Large Telescope reported observational indications of vacuum birefringence from RX J1856.5−3754. A degree of polarization of about 16% was measured...

first study of IXPE has hinted the possibility of vacuum birefringence on 4U 0142+61. Birefringence Circular dichroism Chiral magnetic effect Schwinger limit...

physicist David Brewster, who immediately recognized it as stress-induced birefringence. That diagnosis was confirmed in a direct refraction experiment by Augustin-Jean...

Retinal birefringence scanning (RBS) is a method for detecting the central fixation of the eye. The method can be used in pediatric ophthalmology for...

property is termed giant birefringence which more generically is called giant optical anisotropy. Values for giant birefringence exceed 0.3. Much bigger...

Sri Lanka display only weak or no birefringence at all, and some other Sri Lanka stones may show clear birefringence in one place and little or none in...
