SummaryA formula based on wave-theoretical considerations is deduced which gives the coefficient of extinction of plane-polarised light traversing a polycrystalline aggregate in terms of the wave-length of the light, the size of the particles and their birefringence. The general formula covers the case where the particles have preferred orientation expressible by three different probability numbers for three mutually perpendicular directions, and the special case of isotropic orientation is…

Optical Transmission in Polycrystals
Optical transmission in a polycrystalline aggregate consisting of randomly oriented anisotropic transparent crystals has been worked using Mueller matrices. The interesting results are: (1) A…
On the Effect of Birefringence on Light Transmission in Polycrystalline Magnesium Fluoride
Light transmission in polycrystalline magnesium fluoride was studied as a function of the mean grain size at different wavelengths. The mean grain size was varied by annealing hot-pressed billets in…

SummaryA formula is derived for the transmission coefficient of a Christiansen cell containing particles of a birefringent material whose interstices are filled up by a liquid of suitably adjusted…
An Assessment of the Applicability of Particle Light Scattering Theories to Birefringent Polycrystalline Ceramics
The applicability of particle light scattering theories to light attenuation in birefringent polycrystalline ceramics was investigated by measuring light transmittance in a model two-phase system.…

Modeling the effects of scattering and absorption on the transmission of light in polycrystalline materials
As transparent polycrystalline materials become more important in optical applications, evaluation of their optical properties across a wide range of wavelengths (or frequencies) is crucial for…
Photoelasticity in polycrystalline aggregates
A theory for the photoelastic behaviour of transparent polycrystalline aggregates consisting of randomly oriented anisotropic crystallites has been developed. Such an aggregate is isotropic but it…
Light scattering and infrared-transmission spike in multidomain birefringent solids (KCN and NaCN)
KCN and NaCN single crystals, in their low-temperature multidomain structure, are used as model cases for the study of light scattering in polycrystalline birefringent solids. The light-scattering…
