This item is an interactive Java simulation for students of introductory physics or optics relating to birefringence. It features a virtual crystal whose optical axis and refractive index may be adjusted to alter the divergence angle of an incident light beam. This item is part of a larger collection of materials on introductory optics developed by the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory.
