Abstract
This chapter is devoted to the linear optical properties of crystals, starting with a description of the main generalized optical, electro-optic and magneto-optic tensors in Section 1.6.2. Sections 1.6.3 and 1.6.4 give details of the optical indicatrix and analyse the conditions for the practical observation of crystals with a polarizing microscope: the determination of linear birefringence, and uniaxial and biaxial figures. Section 1.6.5 is concerned with optical rotation and the gyration tensor. The last two sections, Sections 1.6.6 and 1.6.7, deal with the linear electro-optic effect and the linear photoelastic effect, respectively.
