Abstract

In this paper the effects of mechanical stress on the refractive, absorptive and the rotatory properties of crystals have been considered with particular emphasis on the role of crystal symmetry. Stress-induced optical activity and the photoelastic behaviour of transparent, weakly absorbing and metallic crystals have been discussed. Piezooptia of polycrystalline media has also been briefly dealt with.
