Abstract
Using polarization fields, light interference figures and isogyres of some uniaxial and biaxial birefringent optical elements are modeled. The effects of diattenuation, and linear and circular birefringence are included, and the Airy spiral is displayed for various cases. The two branches of the Airy spiral are shown to separate and surround separately the melatopes in the case of biaxial elements with linear and circular birefringence. A connection and discussion with the aberration field of astigmatism, in particular binodal, is presented.
