  1. The separation of an incident ray of light into two refracted rays, polarized in perpendicular planes.

The separation of an incident ray of light into two refracted rays, polarized in perpendicular planes.

A calcite crystal laid upon a graph paper with blue lines showing the double refraction

The separation of an incident ray of light into two refracted rays, polarized in perpendicular planes.

In this example, optic axis along the surface is shown perpendicular to plane of incidence. Incoming light in the s polarization (which means perpendicular to plane of incidence – and so in this example becomes "parallel polarisation" to optic axis, thus is called extraordinary ray) sees a greater refractive index than light in the p polarization (which becomes ordinary ray because "perpendicular polarisation" to optic axis) and so s polarization ray is undergoing greater refraction on entering and exiting the crystal.

The separation of an incident ray of light into two refracted rays, polarized in perpendicular planes.

Doubly refracted image as seen through a calcite crystal, seen through a rotating polarizing filter illustrating the opposite polarization states of the two images.
