Abstract
An analysis is made to clarify the subject of “internal conical refraction,” a phenomenon relating to the direction of maximum energy flow for plane transverse waves in certain crystalographic directions of crystals. It is shown that superposition of the two basic transverse waves involved correctly predicts this direction in regions where both waves coexist. When a small directive transducer is used, spatial separation of the two generated waves may occur; and for this case conical refraction, of course, does not apply. Experimental results for propagation in the Z direction of quartz are described.
