Abstract:Ordinary light wave passing through a low symmetry crystal along an off optic -axis direction gets split into ordinary and extra-ordinary waves. If the beam size is large, the two polarized waves could overlap covering a large volume within the medium. It is realized that overlapping ordinary and extra-ordinary waves, result in creation of alternate polarization regions with different fluctuating crystalline fields inside a low - symmetry hydrated crystal. If suitable ions are doped in an experimental crystal,… Show more
