Journal of Applied Spectroscopy Aims and scope

Abstract

The two–dimensional orthogonal representation of electromagnetic waves in crystals is developed. Simple expressions determining the directions of optical axes and dependence of group and phase velocities and polarization vectors on the direction, in the general case, of triclinic crystals of magnetic dielectrics are obtained. A solution of the Maxwell equations in the form of two isonormal harmonic waves is found to be directly related to the exponential, two–dimensional spinor, and three–dimensional tensor representations.
