Abstract
This paper presents formulas for calculating the refractive index of the
extraordinary ray for hemispherical shells composed of synthetic sapphire and its
textured analog, making it possible to determine the local birefringence for any
point of the shell's surface. The influence of the placement geometry of
the index ellipsoid on the birefringence in synthetic sapphire items is
analyzed.
