that in which the incident ray is divided into two refracted rays, so as to produce a double image. Double refraction is produced by Iceland spar. See Nicol prism, under prism.

Birefringence, or double refraction, is the division of a ray of light into two rays (the ordinary ray and the extraordinary ray) when it passes through certain types of material, such as calcite crystals, depending on the polarization of the light. This is explained by assigning two different refractive indices to the material for different polarizations. ...

| double refraction |
Nearly synonymous with birefringence but may be applied in a restricted sense to transparent (at visible frequencies) media with sufficient birefringence that images seen through them are split. ...
