ICrystal Optics lisebe lesayensi elifunda ngokusasazwa kokukhanya kwikristale enye kunye neziganeko ezinxulumene nayo. Ukusasazwa kokukhanya kwi-cubic crystals yi-isotropic, ayifani naleyo kwiikristale ze-amorphous homogeneous. Kwezinye iinkqubo zekristale ezintandathu, uphawu oluqhelekileyo lokusabalalisa ukukhanya yi-anisotropy. Ke ngoko, into yophando ye-crystal optics ngokusisiseko yi-anisotropic optical medium, kubandakanya nekristale yolwelo.

Ukusasazwa kokukhanya kwi-anisotropic optical medium kungasonjululwa ngaxeshanye nge-equations ka-Maxwell kunye ne-equation yomcimbi emele i-anisotropy ye-matter. Xa sixoxa ngemeko yamaza endiza, ifomyula yohlalutyo inzima. Xa i-absorption kunye ne-optical rotation ye-crystal ingaqwalaselwanga, indlela yokudweba ijometri idla ngokusetyenziswa ekusebenzeni, kunye ne-refractive index ellipsoid kunye ne-wave wave surface isetyenziswa ngokuqhelekileyo. Izixhobo zokulinga eziqhele ukusetyenziswa kwicrystal optics yi-refractometer, i-goniometer yamehlo, i-polarizing microscope kunye ne-spectrophotometer.

I-Crystal optics inezicelo ezibalulekileyo kwi-crystal orientation, ukuchongwa kwamaminerali, isakhiwo se-crystal uhlalutyo kwaye uphando ngezinye i-crystal optical phenomena efana nemiphumo engabonakaliyo kunye nokusabalalisa ukukhanya. Ikristale yamehloicandelos, ezifana ne-polarizing prism, abaxhasi, njl. zisetyenziswa ngokubanzi kwizixhobo ezahlukeneyo zamehlo kunye nemifuniselo.
