Physics:Giant birefringence
When values of birefringence are very high, the property is termed giant birefringence which more generically is called giant optical anisotropy. Values for giant birefringence exceed 0.3. Much bigger numbers (over 2.0) are termed "colossal birefringence" which are achieved using nanostructures.[1]
Some oxides, for example borate or iodate can have high birefringence. Also compounds containing C=O bonds have higher levels. These include oxalates, squarates and cyanurates. One trade-off is with band gap. If the band gap is small, then the material is not transparent to visible light, but can be transparent for infrared. Chalgogenides may have high birefringence, but only in the infrared. Halide perovskites such as CsPbBrxCl3−x have fairly high birefringence that varies significantly in the optical spectrum.[2]
Polar organic π-conjugated molecules can have a strong response to electric fields and also form flat molecules that can stack to form anisotropic crystals with high birefringence.[3]
Some transition metal oxyhalides: MoOCl4, WOCl4, have birefringence in the giant category and MoO2Br2, WOBr4, NbOBr2, and NbOI2 are predicted to have birefringence over 0.6 at 1065 nm.[4]
Applications
Applications of materials with high birefringence include beam splitters, waveplates, optical circulators, and in some nonlinear optics systems.[3]
